- – Maintenance that does not emit carbonized material
Effects from : Celpurge Characteristics
Easy discharge of
preceeding material
due to interfacial tension
Celpurge controls wettability
It is most effective to use resin with higher viscosity than the preceding material for most efficient purging, facilitating flushing of resin through the flow path.
For the cylinder and screw inner wall of the molding machine, it is more effective to use interfacial tension than viscosity alone.
For example, if water or oil is placed on a frying pan that has been treated with a fluororesin, it will form into a ball shape and prevent the food from burning. This is the logic that was applied.
Celpurge contains a surfactant. By controlling the interfacial tension between the preceding or subsequent material and the cylinder / screw metal surface, the contact angle θ can be increased, allowing the preceeding material to be discharged smoothly.

Excellent self-discharge
capability
Full coverage over the screw
The purge agent must coat the entire screw and cylinder in order to flush out the original resin from the cylinder.
Celpurge is designed to slide around the surface of the screw by the unique rheology control technology, so it spreads over the entire screw.
Cylinder / Screw
Compatibility is important to prevent resin residue from remaining.
Even with normal resin, the resin near the metal wall will not be easily discharged. The surfactant contained in Celpurge increases the contact angle θ when discharging the preceding material. When loading with the subsequent material, it acts to discharge Celpurge itself.
Celpurge will spread fully over the cylinder/screw surface because the surfactant is positioned between Celpurge and the metal surface of the cylinder/screw (interface).
Hot runner cleaning
The resin remaining in the dead space is also removed
No residue remains
Due to the structure of the hot runner, there is a dead space where resin tends to remain.
Celpurge is not a viscous-type purging agent, but an interfacial tension controlling purging agent.
Please select the hot runner compatible grade.
