Plastic Data

BEADS TAILORED FOR RESULTSSolid plastic beads can be manufactured to OEM specifications, with typical size range between 1/16” and 5/16” diameter. Bead selection for enzyme immunoassay and radioimmunoassay applications, starts by determining the optimal surface roughness for the specific test being designed. Small quantity product samples can be provided for testing to help determine the characteristics that work best for the application. Other finishes can also be customized. Beads can be molded from polystyrene or other specified plastic per customer requirements. Beads can also be irradiated for sterilization upon request. Customers typically develop a washing protocol prior to coating the beads.

BALLS FOR MEDICAL DEVICE APPLICATIONSPlastic balls from 1/16” up to 1” and larger are employed in a wide variety of medical device applications for plugs, mixing, check valves, and bearings to mention a few. Our team will work with your design engineers to assist in determining the best material, size and grade for your application. Special colors, engineered plastics and grades can be tailored to suit your requirements. FDA compliant and 100% virgin materials can be used on request. In addition to plastics, we also offer stainless, metal alloy, and ceramic balls to ABMA/ISO Standards and special grades for use in medical devices.

FLEXIBLE LOT SIZE CAPABILITY AND TRACEABILITYRecognizing the critical importance of lot traceability and product verification for the medical and diagnostic industries, complete documentation and certification for all materials and manufacturing lots is assured. With flexible production capabilities, we can provide balls in lots from 1,000 to 2,300,000 piece batches depending on particular size and material.
