Mechanical Grades from RapidPurge
Mechanical purging compounds from RapidPurge are the competitive choice for general-purpose purging applications. They provide quick cleaning, scrubbing, and polishing of a wide range of plastic processing machinery, such as injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding equipment.
Mechanical purging grades are available as a premix and concentrate, and are also available with different PE base resins to match your temperature and viscosity requirements.
The mechanical purging grades from RapidPurge include:
- MP900 – Premix – most universal grade – best answer for most resins. Formulated for 380°F-565°F.
- MP900HT – Premix – formulated for high viscosity/stiff resins and high-temperature purging up to 725°F.
- MP900LT – Premix – specially formulated for low viscosity/soft resin purging up to 450°F.
- MC900 – Concentrate scrubbing pellets – allows you to make your own universal purge mixture. Must be mixed with a carrier resin prior to use – works well with regrind or virgin resin (PE/PP) to make a universal mechanical/scrubbing purge mixture.
RapidPurge has the exact mechanical compound for all your purging needs. Some features of mechanical purging compounds from RapidPurge include:
- Mechanical activity – Non-abrasive mechanical components enhance scrubbing and soft polishing of the machinery’s base metal.
- No dwell time in the machine – Our mechanical purges can be run right through the machine at normal RPMs.
- No temperature changes – Our mechanical purges can also be run right through the machine at operating temperatures.
- No multi-step procedures – Simply run RapidPurge through the machine until purging is clear of contaminates. Ideal for quick color or material changes.
- Pre-mixed – Pre-mixed products include a universal carrier resin, providing ultimate convenience and handling.
- Concentrates – Concentrates can be mixed at your location with your polyolefin resin in a ratio up to 2:1. The concentrate should be mixed with a resin of equal or greater value in viscosity than the resident resin being purged.
