CHEMICAL GRADES

OUR PREMIUM PRODUCT LINE FOR CHALLENGING APPLICATIONS

For most severe color changes or to remove carbon build up, you cannot compare the high performance of chemical purging that works by breaking down the molecular structure of plastic cleaning down to the bare metal.

  • PM9240 Chemical/mechanical combo for most universal applications.
  • PM5540 Chemical/mechanical combo for high temperatures/viscosity.
  • PM8240 Chemical/mechanical combo for low temp.
  • PM9245 Chemical/mechanical combo hybrid for specific resins/applications.
  • PM5545 Chemical/mechanical combo hybrid for specific resins/applications.
  • IG3000 Combo chemical and mechanical concentrate pellet.
  • IG3000HT Combo high temp chemical and mechanical concentrate pellet.
  • IG3000LT Combo low temp chemical and mechanical concentrate pellet.

MECHANICAL GRADES

OUR GENERAL PURPOSE MECHANICAL PRODUCTS – WITH OR WITHOUT 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.

  • MP900 Universal Mechanical compound.
  • MP900HT Mechanical high temp compound.
  • MP900LT Mechanical low temp compound.
  • MP955 Mechanical hybrid for specific resins/applications.
  • MP1000  Universal Mechanical with activated foaming.
  • MP1000HT Mechanical high temp with activated foaming.
  • MP1000LT Mechanical low temp compound with activated foaming.
  • MP1055 Mechanical hybrid for specific resins/applications with activated foaming.
  • MC900 Mechanical concentrated pellet.
  • MC900HT Mechanical high temp concentrate pellet.
  • MC900LT Mechanical low temp concentrate pellet.

FIBERGLASS FILLED MECHANICAL GRADES

Glass fiber filled styrenic resin for maximum scrubbing. Effectively remove even the most stubborn deposits including carbon.

  • RPM6000 General purpose mechanical purge for screw and barrel cleaning

FDA/GRAS

CHEMICAL PRODUCT LINE FOR FOOD/MEDICAL INDUSTRIES

Non-ammonia, non-foaming chemical/mechanical purging compounds for medical and food purging applications .  These are thermally activated purges, comprised of FDA/GRAS materials, with a softening chemistry to soften polymer structure and lower viscosity of resident resin to a fluid state.
