Polypropylene Spheres are highly spherical plastic particles. Large, highly-spherical particles of density less than 1g/cc are a useful tool as reference particles in simulation experiments and process troubleshooting. Polypropylene spheres are supplied as dry spheres.
Other colors, sizes and grades of spherical particles are available: Precision Spheres 1mm to 13mm Diameter
Density: ~0.9g/cc Particles Diameter Tolerance: +/-0.05mm Spherical Particles: >95%
