ASACLEAN™ EX

EX Grade is our strongest-cleaning purging compound for thermoplastic injection molding and extrusion machines. EX Grade is glass-filled to provide excellent scrubbing of carbon and / or color deposits while especially designed to leave less purging compound residue behind. EX Grade is suitable for purging a wide range of commodity, engineering, and super-engineering resins. EX is especially recommended for helping prevent machine overhauls or for facilitating screw-pulls if they are mandatory.

• High Detergency

• Styrenic-Based

• Glass-filled

Resins Purged:

• Most commodity and engineering resins within the processing temperature range.

Tips for purging with ASACLEAN EX Grade:

• EX Grade is ideal for hard to purge resins requiring maximum deposit removal

• Generally NOT recommended for hot runner cleaning and sealing due to its glass content

• For Extrusion, screen packs (mesh) should be removed when purging

• EX Grade should not be left idle in a machine, at any temperature, for longer than 30 minutes

Applications:

• Color Changes

• Material Changes

• High Temperature Resins

• Carbon/Color Contamination

Processing temperature:

• 390 to 680°F (200 to 360°C)

Tips when using ASACLEAN:

• ASACLEAN does not work by chemical reaction.

• No soak time or hold-up time is required for an effective purge

• For maximum performance, ASACLEAN should not be diluted with other materials.

• ASACLEAN works best with maximum agitation. Use the maximum safe screw speed and for injection molding also use maximum safe back pressure with the screw in the most forward position.
