RapidPurge® PM Series

Generic Family: Thermoplastic, UnspecifiedSupplied by: RapidPurge
RapidPurge PM Series is a heavy duty thermoplastic purging compound used on Injection Molding, Extrusion, and Blow Molding machines to address high degradation, difficult color changeover, and/or challenging material changes.

Our proprietary formula includes chemical and mechanical properties for high performance cleaning. The chemical agents of the purge formula break down the molecular structure and viscosity of the resident resin. The mechanical agents of the purge formula offer scrubbing and soft polishing of the machinery's base metal. Heat activated foaming additives expand the purge into negative flow areas.

Features & Benefits
  • High performance chemical formulation - Designed for challenging purging applications.
  • Non-abrasive mechanical additives - Enhance scrubbing and soft polishing of machines base metal.
  • Equipment - Can be used in all plastic processing equipment; Hot Runner safe; can go through downstream equipment out to open die; RapidPurge is inert to metal.
  • Pre-mix - "Ready to Use" pre-mixed grades can be used right from the container - No mixing necessary.
  • Pellet Form - Easy feed and handling.
  • Shelf life - Indefinite in sealed container.
  • Shut-down/Start-up - Excellent shut-down properties. Residual purge left in the machine with heats turned off will not burn during cool down and/or heat up providing efficient start-ups.
  • Maximum Results - For highly demanding applications such as carbon buildup, temperatures can be raised to maximum safe level of the resident resin being purged.
