BGS Beta-Gamma-Service GmbH & Co. KG services

Radiation crosslinking gives inexpensive commodity plastics and technical plastics the mechanical, thermal and chemical properties of high-performance plastics. This “upgrading” enables these plastics to be used under conditions which they would not withstand otherwise. The energy-rich beta or gamma rays trigger chemical reactions in the plastic parts and thus result in a crosslinking of molecules – comparable to the vulcanization of rubbers that has been used for a long time. Since the finished plastic product is modified in this way, it is even possible to vary the level of crosslinking and/or the crosslinking process within the component by protecting parts of the product from radiation. Thus, BGS helps you to optimize the material properties of plastics and opens up new areas of application.

The treatment with ionizing rays offers many possibilities for the solution to your problems. We are able to influence the properties of your materials at a molecular level as well as the interaction between different materials and their interfaces. Thus, we often find surprising results which cannot be achieved with conventional processes. Our specialists have many years of experience in a wide spectrum of applications and materials. It is our incentive to find the most cost-effective solution for your material requirements together with you.

The following applies to all products: They must always fulfil the expectations of customers regarding quality, safety and reliability. BGS will adapt smoothly to your delivery and production process with its cost-efficient and environmentally friendly services and thus help you to achieve the necessary requirements and objectives. After you have handed over your products for irradiation and their treatment has been completed, they go directly to their respective final destination. Our documented and certified quality provides you with proof about the safety. We can simplify your logistics process – just ask us.
