Solvent depolymerization is a specialized cleaning process that uses glycol-based solvents to safely dissolve, react with, or soften polymers to remove contaminants from melt filters and associated process equipment. This method is especially effective for removing stubborn polymer build-up while preserving the integrity of the filter media and equipment.
At Carolina PEC, we utilize triethylene glycol (TEG) as the primary solvent in our bulk depolymerization processes. The steps include:
Carolina PEC's depolymerization services are ideal for industries requiring precise and thorough cleaning of melt filters, including:
It's a chemical process that breaks down polymers into monomers, effectively removing residues from filters and parts.
When dealing with heat-sensitive materials or when preserving the integrity of delicate components is crucial.
Yes, we use industry-approved solvents and ensure proper handling and disposal.
