Chem-Trend’s approach is working hand-in-hand with the industry and customers to generate solutions that overcome their production challenges. Using a customer-centric approach and deep research and development, they are helping manufacturers to become more efficient. More productive. And more sustainable.

Purge Compounds for Thermoplastics

Purge compounds are extremely important for modern thermoplastics processors, and the use of purging compounds that are designed specifically for operational processes and parameters can provide a significant competitive advantage. Eliminating carbon buildup in screw and barrel assemblies, as well as on die sets, has a significant impact on processing efficiency, scrap rates, die life, and equipment maintenance. Reductions in color or polymer change-over times can significantly enhance operational margins by increasing equipment and labor uptime, allowing organizational assets to be more fully leveraged toward providing complete value to the manufacturing process.

Chem-Trend’s Ultra Purge™ brands of purge compounds cover a wide array of process applications, polymers, operating temperatures, and equipment types. They have been specifically developed to address the challenges faced by thermoplastics processors and add significant value to their operations.

Mold Maintenance Products

Chem-Trend has developed a broad portfolio of Lusin® brand mold maintenance products for the thermoplastics industry. This portfolio is the result of nearly 70 years of Lusin® heritage, working directly with thermoplastics processors, understanding their challenges, and creating products that address their shop floor challenges. 

Mold Release Products

Optimization of cycle time, consistency of surface finish, and reduction of post-mold operations prior to painting or gluing are all important factors in thermoplastics processing operations. Chem-Trend understands these issues. With nearly 60 years of experience developing and manufacturing some of the highest-performing mold release products around the world, for multiple industries and applications, Chem-Trend brings its experience, foresight, and hands-on approach to maximize customer’s success. Lusin® Mold Release products are proven, respected, and best-in-class.
