IG3000LT | Purging Concentrate

Chemical Purging Concentrate for low viscosity thermoplastics and temperatures

IG3000LT, formulated for low temperature applications, is the most universal and very cost-effective chemical/mechanical concentrate grade that must be mixed with a carrier resin prior to use – very cost-effective.

Heat activated chemical/mechanical Purging Compounds are the premium flagship product line in the RapidPurge product portfolio.

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

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

Restrictions:

We do not recommend mixing any chemical concentrate grade with PVC, Thermoplastic Elastomers, Acetals, Acetate.
