PurgeClean® PC-400 Heavy Duty Carbon Removal Purge
Compound for Injection Molding & Extrusion

PurgeClean® PC-400 is a high-performance heavy-duty purge compound designed specifically for removing stubborn contamination, carbon buildup, and degraded polymer from plastic processing equipment.

Engineered for demanding production environments, PC-400 delivers aggressive cleaning performance for injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding systems where standard purge compounds are no longer effective.

It is the preferred solution for processors experiencing

  • Black Specks Removal in Plastic Molding

  • Burnt Resin Removal in Plastic Molding

  • Material Degradation Plastic Molding

  • Long Production Runs With Heavy Contamination Buildup Plastic Molding

Heavy Duty Industrial Purge Compound for Carbon and Contamination Removal

PurgeClean® PC-400 is formulated for deep cleaning of screws, barrels, hot runners, and flow channels where carbon deposits and degraded resin accumulate over time.

Unlike general-purpose purge compounds, PC-400 is designed for intensive cleaning cycles, making it ideal for maintenance cleaning and recovery of heavily contaminated production lines.

High-Strength Carbon Black Specks Removal Plastic Molding

PurgeClean® PC-400 provides strong cleaning performance for:

  • Carbon buildup removal
  • Black speck elimination
  • Burnt resin cleaning
  • Degraded polymer removal
  • Deep screw and barrel cleaning
  • Contamination recovery in long production runs

It is engineered for situations where standard purge compounds cannot fully restore machine cleanliness.

Injection Molding and Extrusion Applications

PurgeClean® PC-400 is recommended for:

  • Injection Molding (especially engineering resins)
  • Extrusion Lines
  • Blow Molding
  • Hot Runner Systems (heavy contamination cases)
  • Maintenance cleaning cycles

Ideal for processors running high-temperature or engineering-grade materials.

Compatible Plastic Resins

PurgeClean® PC-400 is suitable for engineering and high-temperature resins, including:

  • Polycarbonate (PC)
  • Nylon (PA)
  • Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
  • Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
  • Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
  • High-temperature polymer blends

Designed specifically for more demanding thermoplastic applications.

Recommended Usage Guidelines

  • Use during maintenance or deep cleaning cycles
  • Purge until discharge runs clean and stable
  • Follow with standard resin flushing if required
  • No machine modification required

Operating Temperature Range

Recommended Processing Temperature

200°C – 380°C (392°F – 716°F)

This high-temperature range allows PC-400 to perform effectively in engineering resin and high-heat processing environments.

When to Use PC-400 vs Other PurgeClean® Products? Why Choose PurgeClean® PC-400?

Choose PurgeClean® PC-400 when:

  • Severe carbon buildup is present
  • Black specks appear in molded or extruded parts
  • Material degradation is visible in the system
  • Long production runs create heavy contamination
  • PC-100 / PC-200 / PC-300 are no longer effective

Comparison Guide:

  • PC-100 → Routine cleaning & low-cost purging
  • PC-200 → Fast general-purpose production cleaning
  • PC-300 → Multi-resin flexible operations
  • PC-400 → Heavy-duty carbon & contamination removal

PurgeClean® PC-400 is chosen by processors who need:

  • Strong contamination removal capability
  • Reduced scrap caused by black specks
  • Recovery of contaminated production lines
  • Improved part quality stability
  • Reduced downtime from cleaning and maintenance
  • Extended equipment life through deep cleaning
