Purging Concentrate Excels at Cleaning Injection, Extrusion, Blow Mold Equipment

Asaclean’s new PLUS Grade, a high-performance purging concentrate, was designed to perform best in mold processors’ hardest applications, says the company, while offering the same performance and cleaning power of Asaclean’s Purging Compounds. The heat-activated concentrate, compatible with a user’s own production resins, is ideal for hot runners and low flow areas and dramatically cut down on changeover times and bad parts. Further, Asaclean customers are said to save up to 80% on cost when they switch to PLUS Grade. 

The company notes that the cleaning concentrate excels in effectively cleaning injection mold, extrusion and blow mold equipment, such as high-cavitation hot runners and dies and caps and closures, as well as screw and barrel cleaning, on-the-fly color/material changeovers, contamination removal and, depending on the user’s production resins, shutdown and sealing. PLUS can be mixed in with the production resin of choice and is compatible with a broad range of resins. Moreover, Asaclean says it’s an excellent cleaner with low-residue formula and its purging power can be tailored using a concentrate ration based on individual applications; changing materials, processing temperatures or MFRs are not required.
