- Benefits and Features
Specifically created for automotive interior applications, Purgex 459 Plus has proven its effectiveness with challenging dark-to-light color changes and efficient cleaning of hot runner systems. Additionally, Purgex 459 Plus is versatile and is effective on a wide variety of resins.; A universal grade purging compound.; Engineered for rapid turnaround on color and material changes. Efficiently removes residual contamination.; Effectively cleans the barrel, screw, check ring, as well as hot runner systems and is safely processed through hot runner gates as small as .030-inch (.75mm).; Thorough cleaning of melt pumps and is safely processed through dies as small as .030-inch (.75mm).; Active components in Purgex 459 Plus neutralize acid gasses generated by PVC.; With regular use, Purgex forms a temporary barrier which protects steel surfaces from oxidation, extending the cleaning process.
