UP Grade

Asaclean™ UP Grade is exclusively for polypropylene with an emphasis on cleaning power.

Optimized for cleaning after PP moulding

UP Grade is a dedicated grade emphasising cleaning power after PP moulding and is particularly excellent in colour change performance. UP Grade applies to general-purpose resins and some engineering plastics in the 170-300℃ range; it efficiently removes initial burns and stains during injection moulding, minimising the amount of scrap.

Benefits

Removes contamination after PP moulding to prevent contamination in the next run.

Reduces the amount of resin scrap generated during PP changeover.
