Recently, an independent study was commissioned to determine the effectiveness of using common in-house resins for purging versus commercial purging compounds. The comprehensive trial was conducted by Diamond Polymers, a A2LA fully accredited lab facility. The results from the trial can be found here:

IDES Webinar
This 30 minute recorded webinar includes an in-depth review of purging from black to white using PP and HDPE vs Dyna-Purge M, a commercial purging compound. The webinar also includes a series of technical questions and help tips discussed with processors.

White Paper
This report covers all four purging trials (PP, HDPE, PC and ABS) and quantifies the specific “cost-to-purge” values associated with using an in-house resin for purging vs Dyna-Purge, a commercial purging compound.

Since purging plastics processing machinery is critical for everyday cleaning and as preventive maintenance, Cincinnati Milacron recently tested Dyna-Purge M and Dyna-Purge K to evaluate the suitability of these engineered purging compounds for use on its equipment. Using only 6.5lbs of Dyna-Purge, followed by 1 lb. of virgin polypropylene to completely clean the machine, the subsequent first part was considered good.
