Company Description
“What we do, we do with energy”: Under this slogan, BGS Beta-Gamma-Service GmbH & Co. KG has been irradiating a wide range of products for 40 years now, as a service to industry.
By using the energy from beta or gamma rays, we improve the material properties of plastic parts (radiation crosslinking) and/or destroy any microorganisms that may be present on the product (radiation sterilization).
Enhancing Polymer Properties by Radiation Crosslinking
Radiation crosslinking gives mass-produced plastics and technical plastics the mechanical, thermal, tribological and chemical properties of high-performance plastics.
The main polymers to undergo crosslinking are polyethylenes, polyamides and special thermoplastic elastomers. For all articles, irradiation always takes place independently, after the moulding process (e. g. injection/extrusion/blow moulding/rotational moulding) has been completed.
Certificates
