One area where significant progress can be made is through the use of purging compounds. Despite the temporary production downtime that may occur when trialing new purging compounds, the long-term advantages are worth the short-term inconvenience. This blog post will explore five compelling reasons to trial Asaclean if you use a competitor's products. #### Introduction Regarding plastics processing, staying ahead of the curve and continually assessing your operation's efficiency and effectiveness is essential. One area where you may have yet to consider making changes is in the purging compounds you use. You can unlock significant cost savings, increased efficiency, and improved product quality by trialing new purge brands and grades. This blog post outlines why now is the perfect time to give new purging compounds a chance. #### **Reason 1: Ensure the Best Fit for Your Needs** Over time, your plastics processing needs may have evolved due to changes in materials, equipment, or production processes.

Trialing different purge brands and grades allows you to reassess your needs and ensure you use the best purging solution for your specific requirements. This can lead to better overall performance and more streamlined operations. #### **Reason 2: Optimize Cost Savings**  One of the most compelling reasons to trial new purging compounds is the potential for cost savings. Different purge brands and grades can offer varying levels of efficiency, which can impact the amount of material required, the speed of the purging process, and the reduction of waste. By trialing various options, you can identify the purging compound that offers the most significant cost savings for your operation, helping to improve your bottom line. #### **Reason 3: ****Increase Output** Another benefit of trialing new purging compounds is the potential to increase your operation's output. By identifying a more effective purging solution, you can minimize the time spent on purging and reduce production downtime. This translates to increased productivity and greater throughput, allowing you to meet customer demand more efficiently and capitalize on new business opportunities. #### **Reason 4: Reduction of Defects and Improved Product Quality** Using the right purging compound can significantly impact the quality of your finished products. By trialing different purge brands and grades, you can identify the purging solution that [best removes contaminants](https://www.asaclean.com/solutions/carbon-contamination), reduces the risk of defects, and helps maintain the consistency of your products.
