Founded in 1982, Horquim is an ISO 9001 certified trading and logistics company representing 26 worldwide manufacturers of products to serve the plastics, coatings, inks, textile, leather, paper, ceramics, detergent, pharmaceutical and glass industries in Europe.

The Dyna-Purge line (to be featured at the K Show October 20 - 27, 2004, Düsseldorf, Germany, in the North American Pavilion, Booth #13B59-6) includes 10 compounds for cleaning injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, compounding, and blow film production equipment for resin, color and formulation changes, routine and preventive maintenance, and prior to machine shutdown and start-up. Introduced more than 20 years ago, Dyna-Purge is reported to improve purging efficiency and performance while lowering purging costs and increasing productivity.
According to the company, Dyna-Purge cleans on the first pass, minimizing machine downtime and reducing scrap. It is non-chemical and non-abrasive, so it does not cause wear on machines and is safe for operators and safe for disposal. In addition, the company states, Dyna-Purge is packaged ready to use.
