Application Instructions
1. For dosing quantities, refer to Dosage Table.
2. Increase film thickness to 200 µm.
3. Run the material in the hopper to the lowest possible level and then refill with the preweighed quantity of Lusin® Clean LD 250.
4. Adjust the film speed to prevent tearing off of film.
5. After the Lusin® Clean LD 250 has been processed, run the hopper to the lowest possible level and then fill the new material.
6. After the last traces of Lusin® Clean LD 250 disappear from the film, adjust the film thickness and continue production.
Note:
When heavily contaminated screws, cylinders and heads are being cleaned, particles can cause tearing of the film. Should this happen, the film end should be rethreaded and the cleaning process continued.
