Press release submitted on behalf of Slide Products.
Slide Products, Wheeling, Illinois, has developed a Hi-Temp Purge Compound demonstrating exceptional superior performance when tackling issues associated with most purging engineered grade resins. It’s designed to prolong equipment life, reduce downtime and enhance overall efficiency in injection molding manufacturing. The chemically reactive formula includes characteristics that guarantee a thorough treatment on machinery and parts to a molecular level, even under extreme heat.
As our industry advances, the focus on upkeep becomes increasingly more important for molding machines and production proficiency. High temperature purging products support maintenance practices with numerous benefits such as thermal stability, mechanical strength, chemical resistance and durability.
Not all purging compounds are created equally. Applying the wrong one can cause defects in molded parts, thus disrupting operations and hurting your bottom line. Slide has taken initiative in approaching these specific concerns by creating this superior product.
Unlike most abrasive purging agents, Hi-Temp Purge has a chemically reactive, non-abrasive property that safely cleans screws and barrels with virtually no odor or smoke. It works quickly to remove burnt material, color hang-ups, resin deposits, black specks and eliminates rust. The mixture contains a non-abrasive PET carrier resin with GRAS-rated ingredients that are safe to use for food packaging applications, withstanding temperatures up to 750°F/395°C.
There is no doubt that utilizing this formula is a necessity for situations when a standard agent can’t suffice. It is unrivaled in performance and durability in terms of combating such hurdles that plague the injection molding industry. Incorporating into regular maintenance routines will optimize runs, prolong the life of your machinery and yield better outcomes.
Slide factory rep and purging expert, Juan Grino, explains, “We pride ourselves in assisting our customers and helping to customize product offerings that fit individual needs. This is why we are always available to provide a free purging consultation to ensure you’re getting the best possible solution in any injection molding environment.”
