Description
Lusin® Clean OH 311 is a granular purging compound based on a thermoplastic material with a built-in cleaner. It is suitable for use at processing temperatures up to 300°C/572°F. Lusin® Clean OH 311:
- Removes, within the operational temperature range, deposits and encrustations from screw, cylinder and nozzle
- Can be used for cleaning of screw when color or material is changed
- Cleans gently as it contains no abrasives or solvents
- Requires no hazard markings according to USDOT regulations
Applications
Use Lusin® Clean OH 311 for purging during the processing of PVC. For engineering plastics such as PS, SAN, ABS, PC, PMMA, POM, PA Lusin® Clean G 320 is recommended. For PP and PE, Lusin® Clean G 315 will provide optimal cleaning efficiency.
Application Instructions
1. The quantity of Lusin® Clean OH 311 required per cleaning process corresponds to approximately 10 times the maximum injection weight of PS - refer also to the Dosage Table.
2. Empty cylinder.
3. Fill hopper with Lusin® Clean OH 311. Adjust the cleaning temperature as near as possible to the requirements of the previous material and plasticize Lusin® Clean OH 311 through the cylinder.
4. In case of stubborn residues, plasticize only half of the Lusin® Clean OH 311, stop the screw and allow the Lusin® Clean OH 311 to soften the contamination for about 15 minutes. After this period, plasticize the rest of the Lusin® Clean OH 311 and fill the hopper with the new material.
5. Run through a small quantity of the new granulate to expel the rest of the Lusin® Clean OH 311 from the cylinder. Begin production.
