Shortly after NPE 2015, Sun Plastech, Inc. acquired the well-regarded Novachem company. This NPE, Asaclean® will promote their mechanical and chemical purging compounds to solve problems for wide-ranging processes.
ORLANDO, FLORIDA—– Asaclean®, the industry-leading brand of commercial 
purging compounds for thermoplastic injection molders and extruders, has introduced a line of purging chemical purging compounds to complement its existing, set of mechanical compounds. Asaclean®’s N Series of heat-activated chemical purging compounds excel in a wide range of plastics manufacturing applications, including injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and blown film.
A noted benefit of chemical purging compounds is their rapid foaming action when activated by heat. This sturdy yet flowing constitution allows chemical compounds to expand to clean difficult-to-access areas in machines where thorough purges between runs are necessary. Another advantage is particle size: in a melted state, N Series chemical purges are sub-micron, making for quick, easy displacement with a supplementary carrier resin.
The following are details on products comprising Asaclean®’s N Series of chemical purging compounds:
- NCR Grade (formerly Supernova™ Regular): A versatile, high-performance chemical purging compound well suited for color and material changes for thermoplastic injection molding and extrusion machines. NCR Grade has a wide service temperature range encompassing most commodity and engineering grade resins processed up to 360°C (680°F), making it unnecessary to stock multiple grades.
- NCT Grade (formerly Supernova™ HT): A chemical purging compound for high-temperature resins such as ULTEM™, PEEK and liquid crystal polymers that can process at temperatures as high as 750° F. NCT Grade is well suited for color and material changes for thermoplastic injection molding, extrusion, and extrusion blow molding machines. NCT grade can be used for sealing and shutting down machines to prevent carbon on start-ups.
- NCF Grade (formerly Supernova™ FD): A high-performance chemical purging compound well suited for color and material changes for thermoplastic film systems and similar applications, including both flexible and rigid PVCs.
- NCH Grade (formerly Hybrid 400™): A high-performance purging compound formulated to offer the benefits of both mechanical and chemical purging compounds. NCH Grade is suited for color and material changes for thermoplastic extrusion, as well as extrusion blow molding machines. Effective when used for sealing and shutting down machines to prevent carbon on start-ups.
Asaclean®’s N Series also includes more traditional mechanical purging compounds, including NL Grade, NH Grade, NC Grade and NF Grade.

About NPE2018: The Plastics Show
Recognized as the world’s largest plastics trade show and conference, NPE2018 brings together all industry sectors, including vertical and peripheral markets, end markets, brand owners and recyclers. Held every three years, NPE attracts more than 65,000 plastics professionals and features industry-focused education and leading suppliers of emerging technologies, equipment and materials for every phase of plastics processing, all in 1 million square feet of exhibit space.
Building on its most successful show in 2015, held in Orlando, Florida, NPE2018 anticipates even greater participation from up and down the global plastics supply chain when it returns to Orlando in 2018. NPE is produced by Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) and is the only international plastics event produced by the industry for the industry. For more information, or to register: www.npe.org.
About The Plastics Industry Association
The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS), formerly SPI, is the only organization that supports the entire plastics supply chain, representing nearly one million workers in the $418 billion U.S. industry. Since 1937, PLASTICS has been working to make its members and the industry more globally competitive while advancing recycling and sustainability.
