Engen Chemicals secures X-PURGE exclusivity
Engen and PTT, the National Oil Company of Thailand, recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for Engen’s exclusive rights to a product called X-PURGE.
At the signing ceremony in Cape Town, Engen was awarded the sole distribution rights for X-PURGE in South Africa.
Dr Emma Mokoena, Engen Manager: Chemicals & Special Products says the company is excited about bringing the new product to its customers. “As the leading producer and marketer of a wide range of fuels, lubricants and oil-based products in South Africa, we are very proud to add X-PURGE to our portfolio. In addition to our polymer resin, X-PURGE is now added to our portfolio.”
X-PURGE is an FDA approved purging material formulated specifically to clean all primary plastic machines when changing colour, resin or simply removing black spots or contaminants. “In a nutshell it saves time by helping to reduce machine downtime and maximize productivity,” adds Mokoena.
X-PURGE has been designed for cleaning various types of plastic machines, including: injection moulding, blow moulding, sheet casting, and profile extrusion machines, as well as single screw and twin extruders.
