High Performance Purging Additive for Cleaning of Plastic Molding Machines, "SEP 105 PET Capsule"
By directly containing a high performance solution within a PET capsule, the SEP 105 PET Capsule achieves optimal efficacy with minimal amount. Since it is made of PET, there is no concern over residue materials generated on the surface of machines that mold PET plastic. In addition, the pH of the functional solution contained in it is 7.8, preventing damage to metal surfaces or plating.

Features
· A brand new type of purging additive that redefines the existing concept of purging materials
· Functional solution is directly contained in a PET capsule.
· Only 10 capsules to 1 kilogram of base resin are necessary to exert the full effect.
· By selecting base resins, your company can create original purging materials!
· With the highly osmotic functional solution "organic boron compound" contained directly in a capsule, carbide that remains on the surface can be completely eliminated.
· Effective for color and resin changes.
· Purging can be conducted both while soaking and molding.

Example of use:
1. PET Direct Blow Molding
After weekly business hours conclude, we conduct purging, in which molding machines and blow heads are soaked in purging resin mixing 20 capsules into 2 kilograms of PET. (Power-off) When the purging resin is discharged on Monday morning, carbide is eliminated. It takes only 30 minutes to replace materials in machines, thereby dramatically improving work efficiency.

2. Manufacture of PET sheets
We manufacture PET sheets for food using a 2-axis extruder (90mm screw diameter), but had encountered problems with carbide generation. Even with the use of purging solution, in some cases residual purging material itself became carbide. After calculating the proportion based on carbide emission per hour, we inserted the purging solution made in the proportion of 10 capsules/kg into the hopper. As a result, we succeeded in significantly reducing the level of carbides.

3. PET bottle preform molding
We conducted a 36-hour soaking purging of a 600 ton injection perform molding machine, eliminating a large quantity of marble-like carbide that had adhered to the inside of the machine and its nozzle.

4. Others
Since the PET capsule is dissolved at about 240 degrees, it can be used with resin that has a molding temperature at an equal or higher degree. Currently we are conducting tests with PFA molding, PC, and heat-resistant nylon.
