Asaclean® E Grade has been best known for its low residue characteristics that make it ideal for use in clear and/or soft resin applications. The new E Grade formulation features better cleaning power than the previous version while the amount of residue left behind during purging is also significantly improved. There are no changes in the purging procedures and the operating temperature still remains between 320°F-530°F (160°C-270°C). The price will remain the same.
