The task of removing cured or uncured synthetic polymer residue from mixing vessels is essential for maintaining the quality of subsequent resin projects and extending the lifespan of the equipment. This process involves several methods tailored to the type of resin used (epoxy, polyurethane, etc.) and its state (liquid, partially cured, fully cured).
Proper maintenance of these containers is crucial because leftover hardened material can contaminate future mixtures, altering their properties and potentially ruining projects. Moreover, leaving resin to harden can make the containers unusable. Historically, various mechanical and chemical methods have been employed, evolving with resin technology to maximize efficiency and minimize equipment damage.
