PURGING COMPOUNDS
Ultra Plast – effective purging compounds for modern plastics processing
A clean plastification unit is essential for high-quality plastic product manufacturing. With Ultra Plast purging compounds, you can efficiently eliminate pigment residues, leftover materials, and oxidation contaminants—without risking damage to your machine.
Why is cleaning plastification systems so important?
Dynamic production processes and frequent material and color changes are daily challenges in the plastics industry. In such conditions, material residues can accumulate in the screw and barrel, leading to:
- discoloration and visual defects,
- material degradation and unexpected failures,
- extended downtime and raw material waste.
Additionally, before shutting down the machine or changing materials, it's essential to thoroughly clean the system of any remaining polymer.
Choose Ultra Plast
Our specialized purging compounds are non-abrasive chemical agents that effectively remove most thermoplastic residues—quickly, safely, and without disassembling equipment. They are suitable for both screw-barrel units and hot runner systems.
Ultra Plast is available in different formulations tailored for:
- transparent plastics (e.g., PMMA, PC),
- thermoplastic elastomers (TPE),
- biodegradable materials (PLA, PBS) and advanced biopolymers.
Certified safety and quality
Ultra Plast compounds meet the highest industry standards and are FDA and CE 2002/72 – 10/2011 certified, making them suitable for use in food, medical, and cleanroom production environments.
Key benefits of using Ultra Plast:
- Removes black specks, residues, and discoloration
- Cleans hot runner molds without disassembly
- No abrasion of parts – full machine protection
- Odorless and free of toxic vapor emissions
- Effective at standard processing temperatures
- Protects steel from oxidation – forms a passive layer
- Reduces waste and production losses
- Can be used during breaks – no downtime
Where does Ultra Plast work best?
The compound can be used in almost every plastics processing technology:
- injection molding (including multi-color),
- film extrusion (cast, blown),
- blow molding,
- cleaning molds and hot runner systems without disassembly,
- preparing machines for shutdown or material change.
How does Ultra Plast work?
The secret of Ultra Plast's effectiveness lies in its chemical cleaning formula that works without abrasive particles. The active ingredients:
- dissolve deposits, rust, and pigment residues,
- create foam that spreads throughout the system,
- thoroughly fill and clean every corner of the screw and barrel.
All this without changing temperature settings – the compound works at the previous material’s processing temperature, meaning no cycle time extension.
Ultra Plast – a clean investment in production quality
- safe cleaning without scratching,
- instant color or material changes,
- reduced waste and improved quality control,
- easy to use with consistent results.
