ULTRA PURGE 5150  This HDPE-based purging compound, which does not contain any glass fibers, is capable of deeply dissolving colors as well as carbon deposits. The new compound is an improved version of the company's Ultra Purge 5050.

WHAT'S NEW?  Ultra-X proprietary technology. The compound fluidizes the polymer, allowing the purging material to flow through gates as small as 0.2mm, while at the same time scrubbing contaminants without harming screw, barrel and hot runners.

BENEFITS  Faster purging, better performing and up to 30 percent more efficient than the previous version by reaching dead spots of the machine containing color and carbon contaminants. It's hot runner safe, moldable, food contact certified and usable on all thermoplastic processing machines.
