Thermoplastics

High-Value Plastic Purging Compound

As colors and materials change during the production process, a natural build-up of residue occurs. For manufacturers who use traditional methods for cleaning their thermoplastic molding equipment, this often results in frustrating production issues. These issues impact various applications like injection molding, extrusion, blown film, and extrusion blow molding. The end results show themselves as streaks, spots, and discoloration on the finished parts, causing an unsettling production process. Consequently, this could lead to increased scrap rates, more downtime, and a decline in the overall quality of the final products – all of which should be diligently avoided.

To avoid these mishaps, we have created effective release agents and purging compounds for plastic. We prioritize delivering:

Improved Product Quality

Reduced Downtime

Reduced Scrap Rate

Value

The benefits of transitioning to a high-performance purging compound are evident. Chem-Trend’s advanced plastic purging compounds undergo rigorous testing and have the support of global R&D resources. This guarantees a constant level of high performance and quality.

20x More Efficient

than traditional solutions in color and material changeovers

Cost Efficiency

Cost-effectiveness is a crucial factor in your operation. The amount of material and time needed to clear the machine from color and polymer deterioration is decreased by using a high-quality purge compound for plastic. The results of this will be increased production reliability and financial gain in the long term.

Ease of Transitioning

Advanced purging compounds play a crucial role in achieving smooth transitions between incompatible polymers and those with significantly different processing temperatures. Furthermore, they provide an effective solution to contamination concerns when switching to clear or transparent polymers and changing colors, making them an essential component for hot runner molds and injection molding applications.
