Purging Compounds for Blow Molding

Purging Procedures for Injection Molding

Cleaner Machines. Smoother Production. Lower Scrap.

Blow molding operations demand precision, speed, and cleanliness—especially during color or material changes. Whether you run extrusion blow molding or injection mold applications, the buildup of degraded material or residual resin can quickly compromise product quality and efficiency.

That’s where a high-performance purging compound for blow molding makes a major difference.

The Challenge: Keeping Blow Molding Machines Clean

Blow molding machines operate under high-volume, continuous conditions. When left unchecked, even a small amount of contamination can create issues like:

  • Black specks in final products
  • Persistent color streaking
  • Carbon buildup in barrels and dies
  • Longer purge time between production runs
  • Unscheduled downtime and costly scrap

Blow molders often rely on production resin or regrind to purge machines—but this only pushes contamination deeper into the system. Instead, a dedicated blow molding machine purging compound is engineered to clean thoroughly, safely, and without disassembly.

How Purgex Solves Blow Molding Problems

Purgex delivers specialized purging compounds for blow molding that remove residual material, degraded polymers, and pigments from the screw and barrel, accumulator head, and extrusion tooling.

Using a chemical purging compound with mechanical cleaning properties, Purgex targets:

  • Accumulator head purging challenges
  • Stubborn color contamination
  • Degraded resin in low-flow zones
  • Complex tooling in multi-cavity molds

These purging products are ideal for both purging compound extrusion blow molding and injection blow molding systems.

Purging Compounds That Perform

Purgex products offer a dual-action approach—mechanical scrubbing and chemical expansion—to tackle the toughest blow molding cleanup. Our solutions are tailored to match your:

  • Resin types (HDPE, PP, PETG, Nylon, and more)
  • Processing temperature (from 250°F to 600°F)
  • Machine configuration (including multi-cavity and long-run setups)

The result? You can clean blow molding machines more effectively while reducing scrap, downtime, and manual labor.
