It's been a year since we introduced Prospector. This year, we're planning several new features and upgrades. For example, would you like to compare plastics using X5?

Please take a moment to provide your input on how we can improve Prospector. Respondents will be entered into a drawing for a set of Pocket Specs books.

Injection Molder Saved $62,363 Using Thermoplastic Purging Compounds
High scrap rates and hours of downtime were common whenever Plastic Products Co., Inc.
changed over from black, glass-filled PET to ABS. By switching to Dyna-Purge instead of
using in-house resins for preventive maintenance, the company now enjoys several productivity gains:

• Lower Purging Costs - $62,363 annual savings
• Less Downtime - 87% less time needed for changeovers
• Reduced Scrap - saved 42,000 lbs of molding-grade resin
• Improved Quality - no streaking, black specks or other contamination

Plastic Products boosted productivity and lowered costs in the production of louvered grills and other parts. Details are available in a published Case Study. Learn More.
