PurgeClean® PC-400
Heavy Duty Carbon Removal Purge Compound

PurgeClean® PC-400 is an aggressive, heavy duty carbon removal purge compound formulated for plastic processors struggling with severe black specks removal plastic molding defects and structural contamination. Engineered with high-friction scrubbing granules, PC-400 attacks stubborn burnt resin cleaning compound bottlenecks, stripping away deep carbon deposits, oxidized scales, and degraded polymer purging material from screws, barrels, and mixing nozzles without damaging precision tooling. Engineered for demanding production environments, PC-400 delivers superior 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

Eliminate Black Specks & Burnt Resin Deposits in Plastic Injection & Extrusion

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 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
