Physical Description
  • Blend, polyethylene, viscosity modifier and an active component
  • Non-toxic, non-abrasive, and safe
  • Ready to use and easy to remove
Features & Benefits
  • Specifically created for automotive interior applications, Purgex 459 Plus has proven its effectiveness with challenging dark-to-light color changes and efficient cleaning of hot runner systems. Additionally, Purgex 459 Plus is versatile and is effective on a wide variety of resins.
  • A universal grade purging compound.
  • 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 (.75mm).
  • Thorough cleaning of melt pumps and is safely processed through dies as small as .030-inch (.75mm).
  • Active components in Purgex 459 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.
