ASACLEAN PX Grade excels in purging super-engineering resins at processing temperatures of up to 788°F (420°C). Purging high-temperature resins, by nature, is usually associated with considerable amount of smoke and odor. However, PX Grade purges these resins with a remarkably low level of smoke and odor, while maintaining significant cleaning power at temperatures over 700°F (370°C).

	High Temperature		Glass-Filled
	Low Smoke and Processing Odor		Specifically formulated to maintain thermal stability at high processing temperatures.
	Resins Purged: Exclusively used for purging super engineering resins such as PPS, PEEK, LCP, Ultem.

Tips when using ASACLEAN:

	ASACLEAN does not work by chemical reaction.
	No soak time or hold-up time is required for an effective purge
	For maximum performance, ASACLEAN should not be diluted with other materials.
	ASACLEAN works best with maximum agitation. Use the maximum safe screw speed.
	For injection molding, also use maximum safe back pressure with the screw in the most forward position.

Tips for purging with ASACLEAN PX Grade:

	ASACLEAN PX Grade should not be left idle in the machine at the following temperatures for longer than the amount of time indicated as decomposition and/or glass separation may occur: - Do not let sit in barrel for more than 30 minutes above 700°F (370°C) - Do not let sit in barrel for any amount of time above 735°F (390°C)
	For nozzle hang-up or check ring cleaning (carbon and/or color deposits), please contact your technical sales representative for special instructions.
	Do NOT use for hot runner cleaning and sealing due to its glass content.
