RapidPurge® RE Series

Generic Family: Thermoplastic, Unspecified • Supplied by: RapidPurge
RapidPurge RE Series is a thermoplastic purging compound used on Injection Molding, Extrusion, and Blow Molding machines to address degradation, color changeovers, and/or material changeovers. This series was specifically designed for medical and food purging applications, utilizing FDA/GRAS materials.

The chemical/mechanical RE Grades are thermally activated purges with a softening chemistry to soften polymer structure and lower viscosity of resident resin to a fluid state. The mechanical agents of the purge formula offer scrubbing and soft polishing of the machinery's base metal.

Features & Benefits
  • High performance chemical formulation - Comprised of FDA/GRAS ingredients.
  • Non-abrasive mechanical additives - Enhance scrubbing and soft polishing of machines base metal.
  • Equipment - Can be used in all plastic processing equipment; Hot Runner safe and can go through downstream equipment out to open die; RapidPurge is inert to metal.
  • Pre-mix - "Ready to Use" pre-mixed grades can be used right from the container - No mixing necessary.
  • Pellet Form - Easy feed and handling; can be hopper loaded.
  • Shelf life - Indefinite in sealed container.
  • Temperature - Can be run through the machine at operating temperatures. Minimal fumes omitted during the purge process.
  • Shut-down/Start-up - Loaded with antioxidants and stabilizers offering excellent shutdown properties. Residual purge left in the machine with heats turned off will not burn during cool down or heat up, providing efficient start-ups.
