Asaclean® EX Grade has been best known for its excellent scrubbing ability, removing most carbon and color deposits from the machine’s barrel and screw. The new EX formulation features even better cleaning power than the previous version while the amount of residue left behind while purging is reduced by 30% or more. There are no changes in purging procedures and the operating temperature still remains between 390°F-680°F (200°C-360°C). This improvement is a result of the company’s ongoing research and development efforts, ensuring that Asaclean® provides the best purging performance possible. ![Tom Hanvey](https://www.asaclean.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tom%20Headshot.jpg?width=150&name=Tom%20Headshot.jpg) #### [ Tom Hanvey ](https://www.asaclean.com/blog/author/tom-hanvey) Tom Hanvey is the Associate Director of Marketing & Sustainability at Asahi Kasei Plastics North America.
