Henkel Develops Low Energy Plastics Cleaner
P3(R) Polyprep(R) 110(TM) reduces cost, saves energy and decreases environmental impact
MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich., June 18 / / -- Henkel Corporation has produced the first plastics cleaner that effectively removes difficult contaminants at lower temperatures, significantly reducing costs, saving energy and decreasing the environmental impact of the manufacturing process.
Specially formulated for cleaning plastic surfaces, Henkel's P3(R) Polyprep(R) 110(TM) cleaner is solvent- and phosphate-free, combining exceptional cleaning properties with a lower operating temperature that reduces operating costs. Most plastics cleaners require bath temperatures of 140 F or above, requiring considerable energy and investment. P3(R) Polyprep(R) 110(TM) is effective at temperatures as low as 110 F.
In beta testing, a Henkel customer utilized a power washer at 140 F with standard plastics cleaners, and measured natural gas consumption with a certified gas meter installed on the system burner. The customer then used P3(R) Polyprep(R) 110(TM) with water temperature at 110 F. The change saved the customer 500 cu. ft. of natural gas per hour, equating to $15,000 in annual savings based on operation rates (1).
"Henkel is dedicated to creating technologies which improve our customers' businesses, from improved environmental sustainability to total costs reduction," said Dan Wohletz, vice president, automotive North America, Henkel. "P3(R) Polyprep(R) 110(TM) is an example of Henkel advanced technology at work, providing customers the first-ever low-temperature solution for plastic cleaning."
