Information provided by the manufacturer, Texas-Carolina Chemicals Corp. TexCarPurge™ is a non-aggressive purging concentrate for extruders, dies and melt passages in the polymer industries. Its action is based on a special thermally stable surfactant additive. At polymer melt temperatures, this surfactant additive penetrates and loosens build-up, disperses solid particles in the melt and forms a monomolecular releasing film on machine surfaces, helping to prevent the formation of more build-up and speeding up the displacement of one melt by the next. TexCarPurge™ has been specifically designed for the efficient purging and cleaning of extruders and other polymer melt equipment in the plastics industry (film blowing dies, melt accumulators, hot runners). TexCarPurge™ helps to achieve short, efficient changeover of colors, grades and polymer types and also achieves cleaning out of adherent residues of pigments, filters and degraded polymer. |
