"Revolutionary" Device Makes Purging Safer, Simpler
What is said to be a “revolutionary” device designed to capture molten plastic purges and create a safer environment for personnel and equipment in plastic processing operations is being introduced at NPE2015 by the Dyna-Purge div. of Shuman Plastics.               Lava-Shield is the result of a two-year development project and hundreds of rigorous field trials.

MATERIALS: Purging Compound For Use In A Broad Range Of Applications
Shuman Plastics' newest Dyna-Purge purging compound can be used in injection, extrusion, compounding, and blow molding applications.

How to Avoid Problems When Using Commercial Purging Compounds
The best approach is to implement and standardize a three-step program to ensure you are purging in the best and most cost-effective manner possible.

MATERIALS: Check Online For Color-Purging Procedures
Quick Color Change Procedure is aimed at helping processors transition from a dark to a light color.

Purging High-Performance Engineering Resins
One of the fastest growing markets for commercial purging compounds is purging high-performance engineering resins. It is also one of the most difficult challenges, since both mechanical and chemical purging compounds have limitations when it comes to heat stability, residence time, flow restrictions, etc.

MATERIALS AT NPE: All Market Sectors Benefit from Large Crop of New Materials
Higher-performance and easier processing PE film resins for packaging, a one-pass crosslinked PE for photovoltaic (PV) wire and cable, several higher-performing nylons and TPEs, “greener” plastics, and enhanced styrenic and PC resins are among the new materials that made their debut at the big show in Orlando, Fla., last month.
