Product information "RE8240 | 15kg Purging Compound"

FDA certified Purging Compound for low temperatures and viscosity

Chemical/mechanical purging compound RE8240 – formulated for low temperature applications – for extrusion, injection, and blow molding machines effectively cleans and removes contamination, additives, adhesion, carbon built-up and resin residues. RE8240 is premixed, ready-to-use and conveniently applied to your machinery.

RE8240 is specially formulated to meet the requirements of highly sensitive productions with food grade requirements such as food industry, medical appliances, manufacturing of toys and others.

RE8240 is a non-ammonia, non-foaming chemical/mechanical purging compound, comprised of FDA/GRAS materials, often required for medical and food purging.

The chemical purging compounds are specially formulated to address high degradation, difficult color changeovers, and challenging resident residue issues. RapidPurge compounds penetrate layer by layer to deep clean down to the bare metal. These products are non-abrasive and can be used to clean Injection Molding, Extrusion, and Blow Molding equipment.

The chemical/mechanical purging compounds are also excellent as a Shutdown media to eliminate black specs on startup. Simply purge the machine, empty and shutdown, leaving the residual RapidPurge with heats turned off in the machine to prevent oxidation. The purge material will not burn during cool down/heat up offering a faster startup that is free of black specks. Scrap generation on startup will become less and less with continued use

RapidPurge Chemical purging compounds include:

1. Developed to meet the requirements of highly sensitive food grade applications
2. Proprietary chemical agents that break down the molecular structure and viscosity of the resident resin in order to attack the adhesion of resins to metals.
3. Heat-activated expanding foaming agents to reach negative flow areas.
4. Specialized mechanical agents for cleaning, scrubbing, and soft polishing of the machinery’s base metal.

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

Pellet Form Factor
The RapidPurge proprietary pellet manufacturing process ensures that the original potency 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 polyolefin resin in a ratio up to 2:1. Concentrate to be mixed with resin of equal or greater value in viscosity than resident resin being purged.

Maximum Results
Temperatures can be raised to maximum level of resident resin allowing for a short soak cycle during purge for highly demanding applications.

Areas of Application:
1. Removing degradation such as carbon and gels
2. Removing plate out of additives and/or colors
3. Changing material viscosities and/or colors
4. Stabilization during shutdown
5. Preventative Maintenance
