Microplastic Fragments
10-100 µm | 100-500 µm | > 500 µm
We produce an array of micro-fragments, available in various sizes, colors, and polymer compositions. Our fragments are produced by cryogenic milling to closely resemble real environmental microplastics. Our colored fragments are derived from specially dyed plastics that retain their vivid hues even at the microscopic level, rendering them perfect for microplastic research and experiments.

Cryomilling and sieving
For the development of environmentally relevant fragments
Environmental microplastics are heterogenous in size and shape, unlike monodisperse and uniform microspheres, commonly used as surrogates in microplastic research. In concordance with the latest recommendations on reference microplastic manufacturing, our fragments are produced in-house, from cryogenic grinding or 'cryomilling'. This process not only ensures consistent fragmentation but also guarantees that the polymer's glass transition temperature is not surpassed. The particles are sieved and sorted into size groups i.e. 10-100 µm, 100-500 µm and 500-1000 µm.
Due to our fragmentation process designed to generate fragments that mimick those found in the environment, we approach a distribution density that demonstrates an almost perfect exponential correlation between particle size and frequency; similar to environmental samples where smaller particles are more abundant.​​
