Ultra Purge™
Purging compounds for plastics processing machinery
Ultra Purge™ by Chem-Trend is a professional line of purging compounds for injection, extrusion and blow-moulding machines. They efficiently remove residual polymer, colourants and deposits from the plasticising unit, hot runner and die — cutting colour and material changeover time and reducing start-up scrap.
Manufacturer
Chem-Trend
- Ultra Purge™ covers mechanical, chemical and chemical-mechanical grades — selected by machine type, process (injection, extrusion, blow moulding) and operating temperature up to about 420 °C.
- The line offers general-purpose grades, hot-runner grades, film and profile extrusion grades, multi-colour machine grades and dedicated food-contact and medical variants.
- Ultra Purge™ helps cut scrap and machine downtime — a real impact on OEE and unit cost.
