Often used in check valves, relief valves, and float valves, these balls won’t swell when exposed to water. HDPE offers good chemical resistance.
Moisture-Resistant Plastic Pellets
These pellets resist swelling when exposed to water, making them suitable for use in wet environments. Melt and mold them into desired shapes. Pellets are made from virgin resins and are compatible with various types of molding equipment such as injection molders and 3D printers.
Choose HDPE pellets for general-purpose applications such as protoyping.

Floats for Chemicals
Made of polyethylene, these floats can be used with chemicals, salts, and caustic fluids.
Ball floats are self-tapping when used with a threaded rod.

Friction-Grip Stem Casters for InterMetro Shelving
Easily replace casters on InterMetro carts and shelving—friction holds them in place in the 1" OD posts. They cannot be used to convert stationary units to mobile units. The wheels are shock absorbing, and provide good traction on rough surfaces.
Tread-on-core wheels have a core that is harder than the tread, balancing strength with cushioning. Ball bearings are the easiest to roll and provide easy swiveling.
Shielded bearings protect the bearing from dust and debris.
Casters with wheel brake apply pressure to the wheel to stop movement with a press of the foot pedal.
304 stainless steel frames are corrosion resistant.
