PolyClean’s Specialty Milling Service extends Standard Service (TDS-017) with enhanced process controls, tighter particle size distribution tolerances, optional blending of mesh fractions, and formal quality documentation packages. Specialty Service is designed for customers in semiconductor, aerospace-adjacent, medical device manufacturing, and advanced additive manufacturing who require traceability documentation, tighter PSD control (±2% on sieve specification), and multi-fraction blending to achieve a specific D10/D50/D90 particle size profile. Quote-based — contact PolyClean to discuss specifications.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Note: RENU™ recycled powders are suitable for non-critical industrial, electronics, automotive, and commercial applications. They are NOT recommended for safety-critical aerospace structures or life-sustaining medical devices.
Application Area | Specific Uses |
SLS / LS Additive Manufacturing | Tight PSD required for consistent SLS powder bed behavior and recyclability |
Semiconductor Equipment | Ultra-clean, traceability-documented powder for critical equipment components |
Medical Device Powder Coating | Documented lots for QMS-controlled powder coating of non-implantable medical devices |
Aerospace-Adjacent Components | Traceability-documented custom powder for qualified structural applications |
Research & Development | Precise PSD profiles for material characterization, academic research, and process qualification |
PACKAGING & AVAILABILITY
Format | Details |
Output Packaging | Boxes or drums with tamper-evident sealing and full lot labeling |
Documentation | Certificate of Processing, PSD report, and optional MFI test report included with each shipment |
Chain of Custody | Input material lot → processing lot → output lot traceability documentation |
Processing Notes Lead times for Specialty Service are longer than Standard — plan accordingly. Pricing is significantly higher than Standard Service due to enhanced QC and documentation — contact PolyClean for quote. PolyClean’s Specialty Service is ideal for customers transitioning from virgin material to recycled RENU™ powder and needing a documented qualification lot. |
