Why E&E Molders Shouldn’t Skip Purging Compounds

In electrical and electronics (E&E) molding, consistency isn’t a luxury—it’s a requirement.

When you're producing components like connectors, switches, relays, circuit breakers, and LED housings, the expectations are clear: zero defects, high dimensional precision, and complete compliance with electrical and flame-retardant standards.

But meeting those standards isn’t just about molding expertise. It starts with keeping your machines clean and your materials uncontaminated. And that’s where Asaclean® purging compounds can make all the difference.

Why Purging Is Critical in E&E Manufacturing

E&E molding presents a unique set of challenges:

• Flame-retardant and glass-filled materials tend to break down and carbonize if left in the barrel too long.
• Tight tolerances leave no room for black specks or cross-contamination.
• Resin costs are high, especially for high-performance materials like PPE, PC, PA, PPS, and specialty FR compounds.
• Downtime is expensive, particularly during screw pulls, lengthy changeovers, or contamination cleanouts.

If you’re relying solely on virgin resin or manual cleaning to purge, you may be risking far more than you realize.

How Asaclean® Solves These Problems

Asaclean® offers a variety of purging compounds engineered for the specific needs of E&E molders. Our products are designed to:

• Remove carbonized buildup and contamination from FR, glass-filled, and mineral-filled materials
• Protect heat-sensitive and high-viscosity resins during shutdowns and startups
• Shorten color and material changeover times, even between difficult combinations
• Reduce the need for screw pulls and abrasive manual cleaning
• Extend the life of your barrel and screw by minimizing wear from high-fill compounds

Whether you’re molding at high temps or operating delicate tools at lower ranges, there’s an Asaclean® grade that matches your process.
