Fast Color Changes
Purging compounds designed by color change experts.
By using a purge compound on a regular basis, you can extend the life cycle of machines and improve the quality of molded parts, resulting in fewer rejects. UCClean® efficiently scrubs particulates from the extrusion or molding process using cleaners activated by heat.
UCClean® products are available for injection molding machines, hot runner systems, and extrusion equipment.
- UCClean® G1: Our go-to product for most applications and processes. Contains both chemical and mechanical scrubbing to aggressively clean and remove contamination for faster changeovers.
- UCClean® G0: Chemical purge with consistent cleaning performance when mechanical purge is a concern. Recommended for extrusion blow molding applications and processes where screen packs are utilized.
- UCClean® GG: Our strongest cleaning purging compound for injection molding and extrusion. Provides enhanced chemical and mechanical scrubbing performance for purging the most difficult color changes or black spec concerns.
Compatible with a variety of resins and wide temperature range, UCClean® is a versatile choice for your purge needs.
A Sustainable Choice
Using UCClean® isn’t just an effective choice, it’s a sustainable one. Our carefully designed purge product reduces waste and energy usage. And since it’s polyolefin-based, UCClean® is recyclable. The scrap it produces during the purging process can be included with regrind, further reducing waste.
Energy Savings
- Quicker change over times
- Cleaner shutdown and startup without degradation
Material Savings
- Save prime resin for making sellable parts, not purge patties
- UCClean®'s highly effective nature allows you to use less material to clean your machine
- UCClean®can be reground and put back into your material stream, minimizing waste
Time Savings
- Faster change over leads to high machine utilization which funnels machine time, labor, and utility costs to producing your end application
