CESA
CLEAN ADDITIVES
™
KEY FEATURES
Cesa™ Clean Additives
• Cesa Clean is a concentrated purge product, not a purge compound.
• It can be processed through manifolds, valve-gated tools and small sub gates.
• Cesa Clean is 100% recyclable with polyolefin resins and compounds.
The preferred approach is with the
blender mounted above the feedthroat of the
molding machine.
GETTING STARTED
TIMING IS THE KEY TO A RUNNING
COLOR CHANGE
Hand Blend
• Have the purge blend ready to load
• If hopper contains a mixture of resin, color and/
or regrind, it should be run dry or drained before
beginning the color change, keeping the screw
full so press cycle continues
• Run the main resin hopper dry or shut off hopper
to hand feed at the throat
• Once press is clean, slide hopper in place
and proceed with next color-resin blend
• The next color can be added while Cesa Clean is
still in the barrel
• When splay is no longer visible in parts, reset shot
size, parts should be ready to pack
(Single) Volumetric/Gravimetric Metering Unit
at the Throat
• Empty and clean feeder while press continues
to run
• Add Cesa Clean to the feeder color hopper and
calibrate to a 3.0% use rate
• When press is clean, start next color
• When splay is no longer visible in parts, reset shot
• Note: If an open/unused secondary feeder is
installed, use it for the Cesa Clean concentrate
Central Blending Unit
• Thoroughly clean unit while continuing to mold
parts, keeping a resin feed to the press
• Using a clean open hopper or regrind hopper, add
the Cesa Clean concentrate
• Set blender for additive/color to 3.0%
• Once press is clean, drain hopper and/or central
blending unit while continuing to mold parts
• Begin new color and continue to mold parts
• When splay is no longer visible in parts, reset shot
Process Adjustments That Can Help
• Increase back pressure
• Increase screw speed
• Increase injection speed (in some tools maximum
injection speed can facilitate cleaning)
• Reduce mold close time (faster cycle)
• Always remember a stock temperature of 400°F
is essential
When press and tool are clean, return all settings to
standard production process profile.

Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics provide
structural performance that can go head-to-
head with metals at a fraction of their weight
while retaining the processing ease
of injection molding.
Pyrolysis removes the matrix polymer of injection-molded specimens
to reveal the different internal fiber structure of long glass fiber and
short glass fiber parts.
Entanglement of longer fiber filaments allows the long fiber part to
retain its molded form, which provides more structural integrity and
increased toughness.

PRODUCT BULLETIN
PROCESSABILITY
MEETS PERFORMANCE
Polystrand™ advanced thermoplastic
composites combine high strength,
unidirectional, continuous fibers with
engineered thermoplastic resins to create
continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic
(CFRTP) materials that feature exceptional
strength-to-weight ratio and high impact
resistance.
Through injection or compression
overmolding, composite tapes and multi-
ply laminates are integrated into traditional
thermoplastic molding processes to create
locally-reinforced, molded components.
