Tips
- No soak time is required for an effective purge.
- For maximum performance, Asaclean® NF Grade should not be diluted with other materials.
- Asaclean® NF Grade grade works best with maximum agitation. Use the maximum safe screw speed with maximum safe back pressure, while keeping the screw in the forward position.
