Launch of R-Series Asaclean™

On September 16, 2025, Asahi Kasei initiated European sales of its new R-Series Asaclean™ purging compounds. This series is designed to enhance cleaning performance in plastics processing equipment while minimizing the need for rinsing material, thus optimizing time, cost, and material usage.

Product Features

The R-Series includes three grades: RU, RX, and RE. Each grade is tailored for specific applications, such as universal use, time-optimized processes, and efficient material changeovers. These compounds are suitable for injection molding, extrusion, film and sheet, blow-molding, and blown-film applications.

Industry Challenges

Efficient and cost-effective cleaning of plastics processing equipment is a significant challenge for many companies. Asaclean™ purging compounds address this by reducing downtime, removing color and carbon contamination, lowering scrap rates, and increasing productivity.

Upcoming Presentation

Asahi Kasei will present the R-Series at K 2025, the leading trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry, held in Düsseldorf from October 8-15, 2025.
