Product Description
PlastxWorld has introduced the exceptional range of Veromor® Purge products to the European and US markets. The products provide a highly cost effective way to make rapid changeovers between colors and materials. Shutdown of equipment can now be achieved in minutes whilst ensuring a clean machine ready for startup. The products are in a concentrated format and are designed to be let down in polymer. They are non-chemical, non-toxic and non-abrasive, yet they scrub your equipment clean without danger to your operators or your equipment.

Veromor® Purge is a scrubbing additive type of purge compound. It can be added to base polymers that will provide a mechanical scrubbing of the screw and barrel. The suggested add rate of Veromor® Purge is 20%.

Veromor® Purge -XT is for purging conventional injection molders.

Packaged in 10 kg (22 lb) boxes.

Injection Notes
Veromor® Purge Processing Procedure

Mix 20% Veromor® Purge with medium flow HDPE, polypropylene or the polymer you plan to process next.

Starve screw & barrel.

Temperature: Purge between 200-300°C. Lower temperatures can be used. Ensure carrying polymer will flow through equipment at the lower temperatures. Polymer will be stiffer when mixed with Veromor® Purge

RPM: You do not need to adjust the RPM in most cases prior to purging.
It is recommended that the amp meter be observed to ensure purge is flowing satisfactorily through the barrel.

Add Veromor® Purge polymer/purge mix to hopper & process through equipment.

For Injection molding:
Add 1 - 2 kg (2.2 - 4.4 lb) of Veromor® Purge -XT polymer/purge mix for every 25 mm (1 inch) barrel diameter. If openings smaller than 1.5mm use Veromor® Purge -XS.

Flush out Veromor® Purge with polymer you plan to process next.

Note:
If the screw & barrel have very bad carbonization, increase amount of Veromor® Purge processed through the barrel.

Veromor® Purge can be used at higher addition level, must not exceed 35%.

Veromor® Purge -XT is not suitable for hot runner systems.
