440A stainless steel resists damage from impact and abrasion. It's often used for cutlery and valve components.

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel balls are our easiest steel balls to machine. They are often used for parts that don’t require high strength, such as knobs.

Comparable to Hastelloy C276, these balls resist corrosion from harsh chemicals, such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid. They’re often used in bearings and valves. This nickel alloy resists chloride pitting better than stainless steel, and it’s more corrosion resistant than nickel K500.

Lighter in weight than steel and stronger than plastic, these aluminum balls are widely used as bearings and in valves.

FDA compliant for direct contact with food, these balls are often used to clean screens in vibrating sifters in food, beverage, and other sanitary environments. You can also use them as seals in pumps and check valves.

Made of Aflas, these balls have similar chemical resistance to Viton® fluoroelastomer but are stronger and more steam resistant. However, they’re more likely to break down from solvents and petroleum-based fuels.

Loosen fine particles from the grip of vibrating-sifter screens with the bounce of rubber balls. Also use them as seals in pumps and check valves. They’re made from FDA-listed materials for use with food and beverage.

Made of EPDM, these rubber balls won’t degrade from sunlight, ozone, or water. They can be used to clean screens inside vibrating sifters, dampen vibration inside assemblies, and seal pumps and check valves.

Practically nonabsorbent, HDPE won't swell when exposed to moisture. It is denser and more rigid than LDPE, plus it's more chemical resistant.
