Under this slogan, BGS Beta-Gamma-Service GmbH & Co. KG has been providing irradiation services for a wide range of products for more than 30 years to industry. By using the energy from beta or gamma rays, the material properties of plastic parts ( radiation crosslinking ) are improved and/or destroy any microorganisms that may be present on the product ( radiation sterilization ) are destroyed. Enhancing Polymer Properties by Radiation Crosslinking Radiation crosslinking gives standard and technical plastics the mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of high-performance plastics. The most important polymers for an upgrading by crosslinking are polyethylenes, polyamides, PBT and special thermoplastic elastomers. In most cases, irradiation takes place in a second process step, after the moulding process (e.g. injection/extrusion/blow moulding/rotational moulding) has been completed. Industries that rely on BGS for radiation crosslinking include: Electrical industry Fuse systems, housings, plugs, coilformers, MIDs, cables/wires, shrinkable products Automotive industry Components exposed to high temperatures and chemical influences, e.g. in engine compartments and exhaust systems Heating/ plumbing Underfloor heating pipes, pipes for drinking water supply, fittings Other sectors Mechanical engineering components, foils, semi-finished products, fibre-reinforced composites, packaging materials such as e.g. closures Radiation sterilization The advantage of radiation sterilization is, that products can be treated in their final packaging (boxes, pallets) within very short time and that the treatment is without any residues. Medical products sector Implants, wound management systems, dialysis systems, infusion products, catheters Biotechnology sector In vitro diagnostics, blood sampling systems, disposable syringes, cell culture vessels, bioreactors, pipettes, Petri dishes Packaging materials Closures, tubs, tubes, bottles, bag-in-box systems, primary packaging materials for the pharmaceutical industry Miscellaneous Raw materials, foods, animal feeds, archives and much more. All processes are certified for compliance with ISO 9001, DIN EN ISO 13485 and EN ISO 11137.
