Solvent depolymerization uses glycol-based solvents to dissolve, react, or soften polymers to remove contaminants from melt filters and associated process equipment.
Triethylene glycol (TEG) solvent is used in bulk depolymerization of melt filters and associated process equipment. Prior to cleaning the filter media, the bulk polymer must be removed or dissolved. Carolina PEC's TEG process is controlled via PLC and data are logged electronically, ensuring safe and gentle removal of polymer with consistent and repeatable results.
