- Benefits and Features
Created for more challenging color and/or material changes plus efficient cleaning of hot runner systems, Purgex™ 457 Plus has proven to perform particularly well in removing low- to mid-range mineral- and glass-filled resins.; 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 (0.75mm).; Thorough cleaning of melt pumps and is safely processed through dies as small as .030-inch (0.75mm).; Active components in Purgex™ 457 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.
