new material can be mixed.
S May be mixed: Remaining old material can be flushed out using the new
material.
S May not be mixed: Purge thoroughly and clean melting plate with a
cleaning agent recommended by the material manufacturer (Refer to
Cleaning Melting Plate).
NOTE: Properly dispose of the old material according to local regulations.
Purging with Cleaning Agent
CAUTION: Use only a cleaning agent recommended by the hot melt
material manufacturer. Observe the Material Safety Data Sheet for the
cleaning agent.
Before starting production again, flush out residue of the cleaning agent
using the new material.
NOTE: Properly dispose of cleaning agent according to local regulations.
Cleaning Melting Plate
The melting plate is standardly release‐coated. This makes it easy to clean.
Cooled material can usually be pulled off of the melting plate; if necessary,
first heat to 60 _C / 140 _C.
CAUTION: Do not use hard or metallic tools to clean. Do not use wire
brushes! This could damage the release coating. Use only soft aids (wooden
or PTFE- spatula or soft brush).
