Fluorescent polyethylene microspheres in nine unique formulations emit bright colors at various wavelength and become highly visible when illuminated by UV light. Highly valuable in process diagnostics and troubleshooting, process flow, medical research and other industries.
-
Brightly colored and fluorescent microspheres are designed for use as precision flow tracers and seed particles for water flow visualization and particle image velocimetry (PIV).
-
Monodisperse particles are often used as as calibration standards and tracer particles for qualifying medical devices and in many biotechnology applications.
-
Electrically conductive microspheres are often used as a conductive filler that is lighter than solid metal in paints, adhesives and composites to provide electrical conductivity.
-
Retroreflective Microspheres are made by applying a half-shell aluminum coating on solid barium titanate glass microspheres. The spheres hemispherically coated with a thin aluminum shell produce a bright retroreflective response directed back to the light source.
-
Phosphorescent particles are used for process study and blind tests especially in medical technology industry, diagnostics, troubleshooting, process flow, medical research and other industries. Particles exhibit a strong long-afterglow phosphorescent response and are stable in solution.
-
Photospheres provide a hydrophyllic, buoyant, filterable and reusable alternative to solid titanium dioxide nanoparticles for photocatalytic water treatment. Their buoyancy also enables application in open water systems, where solar UV wavelengths stimulate the photocatalytic activity.
-
Density marker beads are small colored microspheres of known mass density that are used for calibrating density gradients and determining density in gradient columns.
-
Paramagnetic microspheres have the ability to increase in magnetization with an applied magnetic field and loose their magnetism when the field is removed.
-
Currently half-shell or hemispherical coatings can be applied to any sphere (glass, polymer, ceramic) in sizes 45micron in diameter and higher. Each coating is custom formulated for color, charge, magnetic, electric, and surface properties, and solvent resistance per customers’ needs.
