PE Purge

PE (Polyethylene) Purge is a secondary raw material generated during the purging or cleaning of polyethylene processing machines, such as extrusion, blow molding, or injection molding equipment. It is typically produced when switching between different grades, colors, or during machine start-up and shutdown. PE Purge consists of partially processed or solidified polyethylene in irregular shapes and sizes. Despite its form, it retains the core properties of polyethylene, making it a cost-effective and sustainable alternative for recycling and reprocessing.

Our Quality Assurance and Shipping Process

Material Guarantee We assure you that the material will meet the specifications of the loading pictures and the sample provided prior to shipment. Customer satisfaction and transparency are our top priorities.

Our Step-by-Step Process

1. Quality Inspection:
• Before finalizing the shipment, our Quality Control (QC) team conducts a thorough inspection of the material to ensure it meets the agreed-upon standards.
• Detailed videos and pictures of the material are captured during the inspection and shared with the customer for approval.
2. Container Booking:
• Once the customer approves the material, a container is booked on the next available vessel to ensure prompt delivery.
• The booking details, including the shipping schedule, are shared with the customer for tracking purposes.
3. Loading and Documentation:
• The material is carefully loaded into the container.
• During loading, we document the entire process with pictures and videos, capturing essential details such as:
• Material condition
• Loading procedure
• Container and seal numbers
• These visuals, along with the draft of the Bill of Lading (BL), are shared with the customer for verification.
4. BL Draft Confirmation:
• The customer reviews and confirms the BL draft.
• Based on the confirmation, the Original Bill of Lading (OBL) is issued.
• A copy of the OBL is then shared with the customer.

Appearance:

• Form: Irregular lumps, chunks, or solidified scrap

• Color: Natural, white, black, or mixed colors depending on source

• Texture: Dense and rigid, with smooth to rough surfaces

• Quality: Generally free from major contaminants; minor traces of dust or other polymer residues may exist

Key Properties:

• Density: 0.91–0.97 g/cm³ depending on PE type (LDPE or HDPE)

• Thermal Properties: Suitable for reprocessing at standard PE processing temperatures (LDPE: 170–220°C, HDPE: 200–250°C)

• Flexibility & Toughness: Maintains PE’s hallmark soft yet durable characteristics

• Chemical Resistance: Stable against acids, alkalis, and many solvents

• Moisture Resistance: Hydrophobic, providing excellent barrier properties

• Recyclability: Can be crushed, ground, and converted into reprocessed granules or compounded blends

Applications:
PE Purge is primarily used as a recyclable feedstock for secondary processing:

• Reprocessing into PE Granules or Regrind for injection molding, extrusion, or film production

• Industrial Applications: Buckets, crates, pipes, protective sheets, and liners

• Film & Sheet Applications: Trash bags, liners, low-spec packaging films

• Compounding & Blending: Mixed with virgin PE or additives to reduce material cost

• Agricultural Uses: Irrigation films, mulch films, protective covers

Advantages of PE Purge:

• Cost-Effective Raw Material – Provides significant savings compared to virgin PE

• Eco-Friendly – Supports circular use of polyethylene and reduces plastic waste

• Retains Core Material Properties – Maintains flexibility, chemical resistance, and toughness

• Versatile Usage – Can be reprocessed for various industrial and consumer applications
