Testimonials

 We had a machine we struggled to get running well for over a week because of contamination.  We were running LLDPE with a hot runner system.  After production struggled to make a single lot in a week, I was called in to remedy the situation.  I purged the barrel clear and sealed it with U-Grade.  The next morning, I brought the temps up 50F past process temp and purged from there.  I actively purged while the barrel temps were up and also why they were dropping to catch any carbon through the different heat stages.  Contamination is gone, and production has not had any concerns since. 

We've tried pretty much every competitor, some of them twice. Between Asaclean®'s performance and expert technical service, we're not looking to make a change.

This stuff was pretty shocking to me because, one, it was just so easy …and two, it cleans incredibly well.

I totally believe in the Asaclean® product. We go from Black Nylon to Clear pp with incredible ease.

The PLUS effectively cleans out our hot runner molds. I’m surprised that it seems to work even better in smaller gates that build more pressure than the larger gates. We use it every time as a routine and cleaning gets easier.

I’m absolutely amazed with the performance of Asaclean®. The polymers/fillers that I’m mixing in our small compounder really stick to the equipment, and we can only get about 80 – 90% out of the mixer post-run, so it’s quite a mess. Put Asaclean® E in, mix for a few minutes, and the mixer body is immediately clean.

Before Asaclean®, we used around $10,000 worth of ABS to purge each month. With Asaclean®, we saved that resin and our purge cost per month is now to $4,000. The savings are clear and we all see how the usage of Asaclean® is justified!

From a buying standpoint, one thing that really sticks out regarding Asaclean® is that they truly are solutions providers. They help us solve the problem. They have provided technical support, training, and product support followed.

Today I trialed Asaclean® vs. a competitor and found that Asaclean® removed way more contamination. It was pretty remarkable how when using the competitor, the compound just looked like straight compound that came out of the barrel as if as if my machine wasn't running colorant additives. With Asaclean®, it removed the colorant out and displaced the purge to a clear consistency right away. We had no residue. This allowed us to go right back into running good parts with the least amount of scrap I've ever seen.

I've been using Asaclean® for 6 years. I love it. I recently started a new job and insisted on my team using Asaclean®. It immediately reduced our changeover time from 4 hours down to 15 minutes. It's a great product and I recommend it to everyone.

Every time I have used the EX Grade I have been very pleased. It is super effective before clear/transparent jobs. I have been using it followed by the E Grade part of the time. I am finding the E Grade isn’t always necessary; the EX Grade comes out of the barrel quickly enough for most applications.

I was struggling with color changeovers on a hot runner tool. I reached out to a few purge companies, but we went with Asaclean®. Their product worked the best, and the service was great. I instantly hit it off with my rep, and we appreciate how we get treated. I've used them ever since.

Asaclean® has proven to be an excellent purging material as validated by internal testing as well as very positive feedback from several customers. As Tech Service Engineer for North America I am more than happy to recommend your product.

Asaclean® NCR works great for our medical extrusion products, especially on material changes from PE to TPU. Quick changeovers and easy to remove with the next product in line. We trialed other products, but nothing came close to the performance of Asaclean®.

I have already run various tests with the Asaclean® product and it has reduced scrap considerably. Last week, we had a KAIZEN course where I had the opportunity to use the purge on a black to white color change. I received excellent time and cost savings results. I think it’s an excellent beginning. I thank you for your support!

We use Asaclean® to purge our barrels for color changes and reduced our changeover time by 64%! Asaclean® does the best at the right price!

We run about twenty different colors and we don't have to pull our screws. We don't have to do anything additional, other than running the Asaclean® between colors. We never have contamination issues or streaking.

We've used Asaclean® for years here at Brabender. The nature of our application lab includes running the most exotic material combinations and thanks to the variety of the available even highest temperature grade purge compounds we are able to clean up the aftermath of the trial greatly reduces the cleanup time. Especially the EX glass filled grade is our favorite formulation doe to the high scrubbing capabilities at even higher temperatures. Several in person clients were so impressed that they were selecting purge compounds from Asaclean® as well for their specific challenge. 5 out of 5 stars from the Brabender Laboratory team for the Asaclean® Purge compounds.

With Asaclean® we can pull a screw and it is virtually spotless. We had a screw supplier (they also sleeve barrels and repair screws) examine the screw after purging with Asaclean® and he was amazed by how clean it was. He said, and I quote, “I have never seen a screw come out that clean!” I too was amazed since that press runs a lot of black 10% GF PC. After purging with Asaclean®, it was clean. I mean spotless. We have not seen the same results from your competition. Asaclean® is hands down better in every application where we’ve been able to trial against the competiton. I stand by that statement.

We know there's other brands, but we use Asaclean® because it works. Period. It's consistent, it performs, the technical support is second-to-none, and it ships just in time.

Using Asaclean® to purge our barrels reduced our changeover time by 64%! Asaclean® does the best at the right price!

We were getting large pieces of carbon in our film that was creating tons of scrap. Normally this would take a few days of purging and temperature cycling or a die bake to resolve but one round of Asaclean® NCR got us back on schedule and into production the following day.

Our engineers report good results and thrilled with the performance of the Asaclean® U Grade. We process polymers in numerous heat ranges and have predictable (purging) performance with low to no odor while using it. Please continue to deliver the same good product.

When I first heard there was a compound that could get PEEK off a screw and barrel instead of a manual cleaning, I was very skeptical. But, given that Asaclean®’s other grades have worked so well for us, I gave it a try. We were able to go from black PEEK to natural polypropylene without a manual screw and barrel clean and without any contamination using the new high-temperature PX2. Asaclean® is the only purging compound I’ll ever use.

We've had absolutely perfect results with them. We work with a low temp material, and E Grade has made our lives much easier. Thank you for the excellent technical support and training.

We tried a “high-temperature” purge from another company and had problems with it. The rep tried to get me to use the reformulated product after the first product they gave me solidified in the nozzle. I refused based on the fact that he had me try a product that he knew could solidify. I no longer trusted him. We are now a loyal Asaclean® user and have total faith in it – nothing else comes close to the PF Grade. We use it to purge a PEEK material with nano fibers from Victrex, processed around 750°F – 780°F.

Introducing Asaclean® has made a tremendous improvement at our shop. Before, it would take us up to 30 minutes just to purge one color or material before we could start a different job. Now that time is down to five to ten minutes, max. It has helped us become more efficient and has improved our start times. It is truly the best purging agent I have worked with.

We have been molding short shots with the UP Grade and it has been working well for us. Our color changes are faster and we waste less resin. A win-win.

Screw pulls are not a headache anymore. Asaclean® has drastically reduced the screw pull and replace time.  In fact, when we do a screw pull, Asaclean® peels off like peeling a banana, then we just do an inspection, brush the bore of the barrel, and start measuring. Then put it all back together.  So using your formula we cut the time from 12 hrs to 4 hrs, and cost from $2160 to $741.

This product pays for itself and then some.

EX grade has always been great with screw pulls and removing carbon. The EX purge did what it is advertised to do, it completely cleaned out all the degraded material. We followed the EX with the U Grade purge and then were able to go directly into production on one of our clear styrene parts with no contaminants. Needless to say, without the Asaclean® purge we would certainly have had extended downtime and scrap upon the restart.

We have used the EX Grade before. We ran into a tough problem lately and the EX did the trick! Mostly we’ll use it for carbon and screw pulls, but also when going from a high-temp resin to a lower-temp resin. I really like the product and would recommend it to anyone!

Asaclean® is working exactly the way we hoped it would. We have been able to cut down our scrap by 30% on one job alone. The techs like it for color changes. Your product has given great value to our organization.

“We’re very happy with Asaclean®’s high-temp Grades. We save time and money by being able to purge our high temperature process right after we finish the molding job, have confidence that our machine is clean and we have little to no rejects when we start our next run.”

My company switched to Asaclean® about 3 or 4 years ago. It literally cut the cleaning time of our extruders in half! We no longer have to use the wire brushes to finish cleaning after purging.

Our color changes are all done in 15 minutes or less, so we don’t have time wasted.

We run a $25/lb material and we were dealing with carbon. I tried PE but it wasn't working. We started using Asaclean® PX2, and were seeing good parts in 15 minutes. Some people worry about cost, but $30 of purge paid for itself in one cycle. We saved significantly more than I could've hoped for.

Your service and products never cease to amaze us. Thank you for your inventory reminders.

My set-up Technicians really like using Asaclean®. It makes color and material changes so much easier.

Your product works so well it sells itself. In fact, in most cases, it costs money to NOT have it!

Asaclean®'s price is competitive, the product is working to our satisfaction, their outreach is excellent. I think if I called my rep at midnight he'd probably answer.

The EX Grade works very well and everybody is really comfortable using it. We also use PX2 Grade for a Polysulfone application and it did a great job minimizing contamination issues that we always deal with when we run this material. The results have been the best start-up since anyone can remember.

I’ve used every purge on the market and Asaclean® is the only ‘quality’ purge I will ever use!

The Asaclean® sample worked so well, we had everyone come over to see the purge. We then tested a competitor’s purge against the Asaclean® U Grade and the Asaclean® won hands down. We purged ULTEM at 680F and it cleaned the barrel in just a few barrel capacities, a job which we always wind up pulling the screw for. We didn’t need to pull the screw after running U Grade. Asaclean® is the house favorite.

We use EX grade (and higher temperature) for a deep, deep scrub. I’ve actually never seen anything quite like it – it removes everything we want to remove, and it doesn’t stay behind to contaminate the next run in any appreciable amount. We’ve saved a ton of time versus difficult, hot, dirty hand cleaning of our equipment.

We use Asaclean® for a maintenance program for pulling screws. EX Grade is an unbelievable product for pulling a screw. Screw and barrel come out clean, material unwraps on the screw perfectly, and we are back in operation in just a few minutes.

Asaclean® is working well for us - no issues at all! We really want to thank you for your consistent and fair pricing.

For most of my career, I wasn't purging properly. I didn't understand why it was important. Once I learned from Asaclean®, it changed my whole perspective. Now I'm responsible for my company's P&Ls and need to make sure we're profitable. I can appreciate the amount of money Asaclean® saves me and I'm not scared off by a higher cost per pound. Many buyers don't look past the sticker price to see how far the savings exceed the cost.

Our color changes have been reduced by 15+ minutes using the combination CP/Plus grade purge in our hot runners. We use over 4 million pounds of PP per year and I would say we have been able to decrease our scrap % by 1.5% utilizing our Asaclean® products. Compared to using just natural PP in a color change, we save over 23% of our cost by using Asaclean®. When you are talking about 4 million pounds of material per year that is significant.

After purging with Asaclean® EX Grade and then pulling the screw, the screw had very little residue. But comparing to how it looked before, it was close to nothing. The guys are giving you lots of thanks for making their screw pushes a lot easier. Once again, thank you.

I've been a maintenance professional for 30 years. This was the easiest and cleanest screw pull I've ever completed. After removing the EX Grade from the screw, it looked like new. We’re firm believers – this really works as advertised! Every processor should give it a try.

The U Grade not only keeps the tips and screws clean, but eliminates the need to pull the screw for anything but regular preventative maintenance. This has been a major cost savings for us. I estimate that for this particular product line, U Grade reduced restart time by 60 percent, and eliminated unscheduled screw pulls (possibly 12 per year). The U Grade has raised the bar for all purging compounds.

The timing of your delivery was AWESOME! We needed to switch from white color to natural which is always a challenge. I grabbed the polybag, reviewed the directions, and gave it a shot. I can confidently say the only thing better than your service and delivery times is the product's performance. Wow.

During my career I have used different types of purging compounds, but nothing like Asaclean® until now. This is my absolute favorite product for low and high temp resins. If you haven’t tried it yet, get a sample--you won’t regret it.

If I order on a Monday, it's here within a day or two. I've been buying 7 years and it's right every time. Combined with the service and performance, it's an unbelievable total package.

I've used Asaclean® for over 10 years because it's effective, easy-to-use, and leads to cost reduction. Anytime you can work with a great, reliable product that cuts costs, that’s an amazing combination.

Using Asaclean® we NEVER have to pull screws.

Results from using Asaclean® were excellent! The toughest spots to purge, the valve gates, were cleaned quickly. Cleaning was verified when parts were injected after the purge and displaced by our PP resin without a problem.
