| Types of Resin | Most commodity and engineering grade resins within the processing temperature range |
Tips
-
For maximum performance, Asaclean® NC Grade should not be diluted with other materials.
-
Asaclean® NC Grade does not work by chemical reaction, so there is no soak time or hold-up time required for an effective purge.
-
Asaclean® NC Grade works best with maximum agitation - use the maximum safe screw speed and, for thermoplastic injection molding, also use maximum safe back pressure with the screw in the most forward position.
