Black specks often come from degraded material stuck inside processing equipment. PEKUTHERM® mechanically soft scrubs screws, barrels and channels to remove buildup and help reduce scrap and repeat purges.

Efficient changeovers save production time. PEKUTHERM® uses a thermoelastic, self‑adhering purge to mechanically clean metal surfaces—removing color, degraded polymer, and carbon. True cleaning (not displacement) cuts scrap and downtime. Full article: https://t.co/dCFDgCwG2L

A purging compound shouldn’t just push old material out of the machine.

It should help you solve problems

PEKUTHERM® can serve as a practical production tool, maintenance tool, and even Diagnostic tool!

Not all purges work the same. Chemical purges react chemically; Pekutherm’s thermoelastic soft-scrub physically lifts contamination from screw & barrel surfaces. Learn more: https://t.co/hEsioWBpNU

Flushing isn’t cleaning. 🤔🔧

Fresh resin can push contamination through—but Pekutherm®’s thermoelastic soft-scrub action mechanically lifts carbon, degraded resin & color from the screw & barrel.

Push it through—or clean it out?

How Preventative Purging Reduces Screw Pulls in Injection Molding & Extrusion (2026) What Is Preventative Purging?

Preventative purging is the practice of regularly cleaning processing equipment before contamination reaches critical levels.

Avoid thermal degradation when purging silicone and flexible materials—use low-temperature mechanical methods for cleaner, faster changeovers. Read more: https://t.co/15wZsYqSnq #manufacturing #silicone #engineering

[PEKUTHERM® Purging Compounds | UniTemp @pekutherm]

Purging silicone and flexible materials shouldn’t increase scrap or downtime. 🎥 At lower processing temperatures, many purge methods fall short:

• Residue remains in the screw and barrel
• Color carries into the next run
• Extra material is wasted just to confirm cleanliness

Black specks in polycarbonate parts often come from degraded polymer left in screws and barrels during material transitions. PEKUTHERM® mechanical purging compounds help remove contamination, improve clarity, reduce startup scrap and stabilize production.
