Reduce or Avoid Thermoplastic Processing Downtime
Operating thermoplastic processing equipment in the Injection Molding, Blow Molding, and Extrusion industries can lead to problems resulting in major downtime due to difficult color changes, material changes, or black specks from carbon build-up. All of this could represent a serious financial loss in productivity for a manufacturer. As an alternative, purging plastic processing equipment with high-performance compounds is a proven method to maintain equipment while significantly saving time and money.

CHEMICAL GRADES: OUR PREMIUM PRODUCT LINE FOR CHALLENGING APPLICATIONS
For the most severe color changes or to remove carbon buildup, you cannot beat the superior performance of chemical purging compounds that work by breaking down the molecular structure of plastic, cleaning down to the bare metal.
MECHANICAL GRADES: GENERAL PURPOSE, WITH OR WITHOUT A FOAMING AGENT TO REACH NEGATIVE FLOW AREAS
PE-based, fortified with non-abrasive scrubbing and stiffening agents to scrub metallic surfaces clean of old resin, color, and degradation that builds up on the screw. They are most effective and easy to use; just run them through the machine until the purgings are clear of contamination.
FIBERGLASS-FILLED MECHANICAL GRADES
Glass fiber-filled styrenic resin for maximum scrubbing. Effectively remove even the most stubborn deposits, including carbon.
FDA/GRAS: CHEMICAL PRODUCT LINE FOR FOOD/MEDICAL INDUSTRIES
Non-ammonia, non-foaming chemical/mechanical purging compounds for medical and food purging applications. Used for thermally activated purges, comprised of FDA/GRAS materials, with a softening chemistry to soften the polymer structure and lower the viscosity of resident resin to a fluid state.
