Asaclean™ for an industry that strives for extreme efficiency
Automotive parts manufacturing requires extreme efficiency in terms of time-saving, productivity improvement, and cost reduction, down to the second. Nowadays, balancing environmental friendliness, as typified by the decrease in CO2 emissions, has also become a significant issue. Asaclean™ strongly supports our customers' businesses by balancing cost reductions and environmental friendliness.
Your partner for cost reduction, quality maintenance, and environmental responsiveness in the automotive industry
In the automotive industry, many parts are made of plastic to reduce weight. The resins used range from general-purpose resins requiring time reduction in seconds to super-engineering plastics requiring strength and heat resistance. Asaclean™ offers a lineup that can handle all of them, contributing to cost reductions through time savings and quality improvement.
In addition, it also reduces CO2 emissions by an average of approximately 75%*, which is strongly demanded in the automotive industry these days, thus achieving both cost reductions and environmental contributions.
Performance that meets the needs of the automotive industry
You can choose Asaclean™ because of its extensive experience in solving problems specific to the automotive industry.
The molding of engine compartment parts made it possible to quickly clean the resin, which is easily burnt and difficult to clean.
In molding electrical components, where contamination is a severe problem, you can remove degraded contamination by resin without fail and assure the quality of electrical characteristics.
Colour changeovers of large PP exterior parts allowed purging while moulding, and you can complete cylinder + hot runner cleaning quickly.
Switching between ABS⇔PP was quickly completed with one grade in molding interior and exterior parts.
In headlight molding, Asaclean™ can reliably remove carbide-derived black spots.
Quick material changeovers save time and money
One of the significant challenges is that the colour change process consumes much time and money. While traditional methods require considerable time and materials to change colours completely, using Asaclean™ significantly streamlines this process.
In some cases, Asaclean™ reduced the incidence of defective products from 10% to less than 1%.
Reducing the defect rate directly reduces costs and improves production efficiency in plastic moulding. Dirt and residue inside machines are usually a significant cause of quality loss, and many customers require efficient ways to solve this problem. Asaclean™ contributes to reducing the defect rate with its high cleaning power.
Previously purged with virgin materials, the defect rate was approximately 10%. Thorough cleaning with IMX and newEX Grade and regular cleaning with UP Grade once a week reduced the defect rate to less than 1%.

I moulded PA66-GF for engine peripheral parts and was troubled by contamination. We tried various purging compounds, but Asaclean™ had outstanding results and has become indispensable. When we forgot to order it, we had difficulty getting good products.
