This week's #ProductSpotlight is highlighting OPTIX-PURGE, our 100% cast acrylic material that was developed to reduce downtime between production runs to ensure two specific things: ✔️ Elimination of material contamination and black specks ✔️ Flushing out material changes between colors to eliminate residual color It's important to note that when utilizing extruders or injection molders, it's a best practice to purge the material between polymer changeovers, color changes, and beyond to reduce contamination.
