ASACLEAN™️
- Others
Marketing Areas
- ALL
ASACLEAN™ significantly reduces switching time, amount of waste, and CO2 emissions during manufacturing. Based on Asahi Kasei's resin compatibilization technology and original compounding technique, it achieves the world's highest level of cleaning performance.
Feature
- Excellent detergency
- Low residual properties
- Usability
Usage
- purging agent for plastic molding machines
ASACLEAN™ effectively cleans plastic molding machines used for the production of functional parts or interior/exterior parts, contributing to cost reduction at the sites where plastics are molded.
Compared with the case where molding resin is used for cleaning, the amount of resin used for cleaning can be reduced by 33% to 90% when ASACLEAN™ is used. It also reduces CO2 emissions to about one-fourth.

Excellent detergency
-Penetrates into dirt and scrapes it off-
By fully utilizing Asahi Kasei’s resin compatibilization technology represented by polymer characteristics, compatibilizers, etc., we design ASACLEAN™ which excels in compatibility with various types of resins. This compatibility makes ASACLEAN™ penetrate into dirt and allows for easy removal of dirt. In addition, our original advanced compounding technique enables excellent detergency for scraping off dirt.
Low residual properties
-Easily discharged-
Thanks to the polymer properties of the base material and to our original compounding technique as well as production technology, ASACLEAN™ achieves low adhesion to metal. This means that ASACLEAN™ has a property that allows ASACLEAN™ to be easily discharged. The property reduces the risk that ASACLEAN™ will remain in the molding machine.
Usability
Like general molding compounds, ASACLEAN™ is a pellet-shaped material. Therefore, users can handle ASACLEAN™ in the same way.as handling general molding compounds. While designing ASACLEAN™, we gave full consideration to its properties such as safety, non-reactivity, and corrosion resistance. ASACLEAN™ has general-purpose properties; one grade of ASACLEAN™ can be used for multiple types of resins.
Contribution to the environment
ASACLEAN™ significantly reduces switching time, amount of waste, and CO2 emissions when it used for switching plastics production.
Adoption
As of August 2020, ASACLEAN™ has been used in more than 75 countries and regions.
We also have an overseas sales system. Therefore, please feel free to contact us for the use of ASACLEAN™ outside Japan.
