Solvent Depolymerization Services

What Is Solvent Depolymerization?

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.

How Does Solvent Depolymerization Work?

At Carolina PEC, we utilize triethylene glycol (TEG) as the primary solvent in our bulk depolymerization processes. The steps include:

  1. Polymer Removal: Bulk polymers are dissolved or softened using TEG, ensuring contaminants are safely removed without damaging the filter media.
  2. Controlled Process: Our solvent depolymerization system is PLC-controlled, with electronic data logging to maintain precise conditions.
  3. Consistent Results: This controlled approach ensures repeatable, reliable cleaning outcomes, restoring melt filters and equipment to optimal performance.
