Asahi Kasei expands purging compounds for plastics processing to Europe
Asahi Kasei has started European sales activities of the Asaclean R-Series, the newest addition to the company’s family of purging compounds for plastics processing equipment.

Asaclean RU series pellets.
The new series achieves an outstanding cleaning performance while requiring significantly less rinsing material after the purging process, contributing to time- and material-optimization in the plastics processing industry.
Asahi Kasei’s Asaclean is a key player in commercial purging compounds. Asaclean is optimized for injection molding, extrusion, film and sheet, blow-molding, and blown-film applications. Its benefits include faster changeovers/reduced downtime, effective removal of color/carbon contamination, reduced screw-pulls, lower scrap/reject rate, increased productivity, and greater cost savings.
Aiming at further increasing material- efficiency Asahi Kasei has developed the new Asaclean R-Series, consisting of three grades. The universal grade RU, the time-optimized RX grade, and the RE grade, which is optimized for a quick and efficient material changeover.
Asahi Kasei will present its new Asaclean R-Series at K 2025.
