Plastic

Polypropylene

An economical choice, polypropylene has a hard, slippery surface that won't bind or stick to cutting tools.

Wear-Resistant
Easy-to-Machine Acetal

While just as wear resistant as nylon, acetal resists expanding when exposed to heat and moisture, so it can be machined to close tolerances.

Wear-Resistant Nylon

Nylon offers excellent resistance to wear caused by friction.

Moisture-Resistant
Polyethylene (HDPE)

Practically nonabsorbent, HDPE won't swell when exposed to moisture. It is denser and more rigid than LDPE, plus it's more chemical resistant.

High-Temperature Plastic

Able to maintain their properties in environments above 240° F, these plastic materials are also some of the strongest and most chemical resistant.

Other Plastic Balls

Clear Plastic

Use clear plastic for windows, instrument covers, display cases, and other applications where visibility is essential.

Stud-Mount Ball Transfers

Floats

Replace an existing float or use these with rods and float valve bodies to build a float valve.
