ASACLEAN introduces purging compound for plastics packaging machinery
ASACLEAN™ (asaclean.com), an industry-leading commercial purging compound for thermoplastic injection molders and extruders, has introduced a new UF2 Grade purging compound ideal for blown and cast film extrusion applications, as well as injection molding. Like all ASACLEAN products, UF2 grade purging compound enables faster changeovers for reduced equipment downtime, resulting in increased productivity and greater cost savings for plastics manufacturers.
In order to increase efficiency and productivity, plastics processors look to accomplish several goals, including fast color and material changes, and effective removal of color and carbon contamination. UF2 grade compound achieves these objectives, as it can be purged through a die without removing it, can effectively remove gels and contamination that is not carbonized, and has excellent compatibility with PE resins.
