PurgeClean® PC-500
Hot Runner Purging Compound for Injection Molding

PurgeClean® PC-500 is a specialized, hot runner purging compound meticulously engineered for hot runner injection molding cleaning applications where component safety and narrow gate clearance are paramount. Acting as a non-packing, low-residue manifold cleaning compound, PC-500 targets deep-seated nozzle contamination purge compound bottlenecks, safely flushing away color streaks, hang-ups, and degraded polymers from complex valve gates and internal manifolds without requiring mold disassembly or risking tool wear.

Safe, Non-Abrasive Manifold Cleaning Compound for Precision Injection Molding

Unlike general-purpose purge compounds, PurgeClean® PC-500 is specifically formulated for hot runner systems, where precise flow channels require targeted cleaning without damaging sensitive components.

It is ideal for maintaining system cleanliness during:

  • Color changes
  • Resin transitions
  • Preventative maintenance cycles

Hot Runner Purge System Cleaning Performance

PurgeClean® PC-500 is designed to address common hot runner issues such as:

  • Resin buildup in manifolds
  • Nozzle contamination
  • Flow channel blockage
  • Color streaking
  • Thermal degradation residue

It helps restore stable melt flow and improves part consistency in injection molding production.

Injection Molding Hot Runner Purge Applications

PurgeClean® PC-500 is recommended for:

  • Hot runner injection molding systems
  • Multi-cavity molds
  • Precision injection molding
  • Automotive plastic components
  • Packaging and caps & closures
  • Engineering plastic molding

It is especially useful in high-volume production environments where downtime is costly.

Compatible Plastic Resins

PurgeClean® PC-500 is compatible with a wide range of thermoplastics, including:

  • Polypropylene (PP)
  • Polyethylene (PE / HDPE / LDPE)
  • Polystyrene (PS / HIPS)
  • Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
  • Polycarbonate (PC)
  • Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
  • Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)

Suitable for both commodity and engineering resin applications.

Precision Hot Runner Purge Compounds PC-500 vs Other PurgeClean® Grades

PurgeClean® PC-500 is specifically designed for hot runner systems and should not be confused with general-purpose purge compounds.

  • PC-100 → Economy daily cleaning
  • PC-200 → High-performance general purge
  • PC-300 → Multi-resin flexible operations
  • PC-400 → Heavy carbon removal
  • PC-500 → Hot runner system cleaning (specialized)

Choose PC-500 when contamination is located in:
👉 hot runner manifolds
👉 nozzles
👉 flow channels

Operating Temperature Range For Purge PC-500


Temperature Range

200°C – 400°C (392°F – 752°F)

This high-temperature performance range ensures effective cleaning of hot runner systems operating under elevated thermal conditions.

Recommended Usage Guidelines

  • Use during mold changeovers or maintenance cycles
  • Run purge until melt flow is clean and stable
  • Follow with normal production resin
  • No machine modification required

For severe contamination, combine with PC-400 deep cleaning process before switching to PC-500 maintenance cycles.
