Made of soda-lime glass and high-quality borosilicate glass.
- Achieve highest precision through a special grinding process
- Chemical resistance allows the use in aggressive and corrosive media
- Exact and freely selectable diameters in the size range d = 0,7 - 50 mm
- Small diameter tolerances for both single beads dK ≤ 20 µm and lots dL ≤ 20 µm
- High shape retention and roundness dMAX – dMIN ≤ 20 µm
- Homogeneous surfaces with defined roughness, matt, silk matt and (highly) polished, with Ra ≤ 30 nm
- No adhesions and inclusions
- No air bubbles dB ≥ 0,5 mm, very low percentage of beads with air bubbles dB≤ 0,5 mm
- Suitable for contact with foodstuffs possible
Usage as valve balls – Closure beads:
The glass beads are used as valve beads for ink cartridges and dispensers in the food and cosmetics industry. Metering pumps are often equipped with Type P glass beads.
Usage as Ball Bearings:
Glass beads are used in ball bearings where corrosion resistance and chemical resistance play a role.
Usage as Mixing Beads:
The pharmaceutical industry is a large field of application for mixing beads. For example, insulin carpules contain a borosilicate glass ball, which mixes the contents by shaking to achieve an even mixture of insulin.
Ideal for a wide variety of applications, e.g. mixing pharmaceutical products, filtering water or to protecting spirits bottles from contamination
