About Plastic and Rubber Balls

Plastic and rubber balls are sphere shapes that are used as check or ball valves, bearings, and in other applications. They are made of elastomers, thermoplastics, thermoset plastics, or composite materials. Elastomers and rubber materials are characterized by their high degree of flexibility and elasticity (high reversible elongation). Thermoplastics can be repeatedly softened by heat and then hardened, or set by cooling, which allows parts to be injection-molded or thermoformed and scrap to be reprocessed. Thermoset plastics and thermoset resins are cross-linked polymeric resins that are cured using heat or heat and pressure. Plastic and rubber balls that contain composite materials are filled with a strengthening phase, reinforcement fibers, toughening phase, or other specialty fillers that provide unique properties. 


Products & Services Related to Plastic and Rubber Balls

Anaerobic Adhesives and Anaerobic Sealants
Anaerobic adhesives and anaerobic sealants cure in the absence of air or oxygen.
Cyanoacrylate Adhesives
Cyanoacrylate adhesives are one-part acrylate adhesives that cure instantly on contact with mated surfaces through a reaction with surface moisture. Cyanoacrylates are often called super glues. 
Electrical Resins and Electronic Compounds
Electrical resins and electronic compounds includes adhesives, greases, pads, stock shapes, tapes, encapsulants, potting compounds, thermal interface materials, and electrically conductive substances used in electrical, electronics, and semiconductor applications.
Hot Melt Adhesives
Hot melt adhesives are solvent-free chemical compounds that are used to join materials. They can be repeatedly softened by heat and hardened or set by cooling, allowing parts to be removed or repositioned during assembly.
Polymers and Plastic Materials
Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms.
Rubber Adhesives and Sealants
Rubber adhesives and sealants are highly flexible, natural or synthetic materials that are used to join components or fill gaps between seams or on surfaces.
Thermal Compounds and Thermal Interface Materials
Thermal compounds and thermal interface materials form a thermally conductive layer on a substrate, between components or within a finished product.
