≡ Features and Benefits


RapidPurge - Warehouse of Thermoplastic Purging Resins

Heavy-duty Chemical Agents

Our proprietary chemical formulation adds an extra punch for heavy-duty, challenging purging operations.

Activated Foaming Agent

Selective RapidPurge grades include a heat-activated foaming cleaning agent to clean hard-to-reach negative flow areas.

Pellet Form Factor

The RapidPurge proprietary pellet manufacturing process ensures that the chemical potency/reactivity of the compound is preserved for purging.

Shut-down/Start-up

Excellent shut-down properties clean and prevent degradation, and complement efficient start-ups.

Pre-mixed

The pre-mixed products include a universal carrier resin, providing the ultimate in convenience and handling.

Concentrates

Concentrates can be mixed at your location with your resident polyolefin resin to provide a very cost-effective purging compound. Concentrate to be mixed with resin of equal or greater value in viscosity than resident resin being purged. Depending on the Concentrate chosen, mix ratios can vary between 2:1, 4:1, or 5:1.

Powder Concentrates

Because your production resin is used as the carrier and no other resin is added to the RapidPurge product, no foreign resin is introduced into the molding equipment.
Concentrate to be mixed with resin of equal or greater value in viscosity than resident resin being purged.

Maximum Results

When necessary, temperatures can be raised to maximum level of resident resin allowing for a short soak cycle during purge for highly demanding applications. Varying screw speed as RapidPurge is being run through will maximize scrubbing action and agitation inside the barrel.

Custom Solutions

Designed and made specifically for you to combat your own enemies. A private part number will be assigned to your custom blend so that you can re-order with maximum convenience. Your custom blend will be incorporated into our manufacturing flow, assuring you of complete consistency from order to order.
