                                ULTRA PURGE PO-C

                              Concentrate Purging Compound









ULTRA PURGE PO-C is a specially designed cleaning compound that comes in concentrated form.

Ultra Purge PO-C must be mixed with a ratio of 10% of Purging Compound to 90% of HDPE.

Ultra Purge cleans black specks and deposits from screws, barrels, heads of extruders and blow

molding machine with accumulators. Superior results are obtained when doing periodic cleaning or

color changes with all thermoplastics resins such as:



PE, PP, HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE



Working temperature: from 284º F to 572º F (140º C to 300º C)





How Ultra Purge works:



   �   ULTRA PURGE is nonabrasive and works through a chemical reaction. With the presence of

       an innovative chemical component, color, incrustation, black specks and also rust are

       softened, removed and ejected from the press.

   �   The new formula is added with expanding agents which allow the compound to be more

       efficient - even in difficult to clean situations and cleanings that involve blow molding

       machines with accumulators and extrusion machines with vented barrels.

   �   Ultra Purge cleans at the processing temperature of the previous production material.





Benefits:



   �   Non-Toxic

   �   No soak-time required

   �   Easy-to-use and efficient in cleaning process

   �   No more wasting of materials or loss of production time

   �   Odorless…does not produce gasses of any kind

   �   Does not contain solvents, therefore it will not ruin any equipment

   �   If used frequently, ULTRA PURGE will preserve equipment from steel oxidation by forming a

       protective, anti-adherent layer which makes the next cleaning process quicker and easier

   �   All components are qualified as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by FDA





Suggestions:



   �   A second run may be required to fully purge an older or overused machine.



   �   It is highly recommended that the Ultra Purge container be properly sealed after each use.

       The forming of small clots of sticky substance may occur due to moisture. Please note that

       this will not alter the efficiency of the product.

                                      Directions for Use:







Use with Extrusion Machines:



  �   Run machine with a natural grade of the plastic resin you are going to purge

  �   Mix 10 of Ultra Purge CE-E with 90 of HDPE extrusion grade

  �   Clean, change or remove the screen pack if any, located at the end of the screw

  �   Load Ultra Purge and run machine at the same temperature as previous material

  �   Adjust screw rotation to low to allow the compound to expand inside the machine. The

      ejected purging compound should have a foamy appearance. If it does not, further reduce

      the screw rotation speed.

      *For larger extruders, allow Ultra Purge to soak for 3 minutes once it begins to eject

      out of the machine

  �   Continue to extrude Ultra Purge until it appears visibly clean

  �   Load neutral HDPE or production material to eliminate remnants of Ultra Purge within the

      machine

  �   Begin normal production



Use with Blow Molding Machines:

  �   Purge the screw, barrels and accumulators with a natural material

  �   Open purging valve located on the top of the accumulator or of the head/s

  �   Mix 10 - 15% of Ultra Purge PO-C with 90 � 85% of HDPE extrusion grade

  �   Clean, change or remove the screen pack, if any, located at the end of the screw

  �   Load Ultra Purge and run machine at the same temperature of previous material

  �   Purge at a low screw rotation speed to allow the compound to expand inside the machine.

  �   When Ultra Purge begins to eject from the head of the accumulator, stop the process to allow

      a 5-minute soak time.

  �   After 5 minutes, begin to purge the accumulator by making small injections shots. Allow the

      accumulator to be completely filled after every injection shot and always allow the product to

      soak for 3 minutes from one injection to the next one.

  �   Load and run machine with neutral HDPE or production material to eliminate the remnants of

      Ultra Purge within the machine

  �   Begin normal production









Safety: Purging should be performed with purge guards closed and proper

face shield, gloves and long sleeve clothing.
