Aegis® H55C2ZP
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
Aegis® H55C2ZP is a 2.7 RV, unfilled, medium viscosity, non-lubricated, polyamide 6/66 copolymer for molding or compounding. With a broad processing window and excellent melt fluidity for filling thin sections, it provides exceptional processability. Aegis® H55C2ZP resin combines strength, stiffness and toughness with chemical and abrasion resistance. For glass- or mineral-filled applications, Aegis® H55C2ZP resin also offers superior surface appearance and low warp.

- Processing Guidelines
Material Handling; Maximum Water Content: 0.12%; Aegis® H55C2ZP copolyamide resin is supplied in sealed containers and drying prior to processing is not required. However, high moisture is the primary cause of processing issues. If drying becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryer operating at 80°C (176°F) is recommended. Drying time is dependent on moisture level.; Recommended Melt Temperature Range; Melt Temperature: Recommended range is 230-275°C (446-527°F); Typical Extrusion Temperature Profile; Barrel: 239-256°C (462-493°F Adapter: 250-256°C (482-493°F) Die: 250-256°C (482-493°F) Process Melt Temperature: 250-260°C (482-500°F); Screw Parameters; Metering Section: 40% Transition Section: 3 to 4 flights Feed Section: Balance of screw length Compression Ratio: 3.5:1 to 4.0:1 L/D Ratio: 24:1; Metering Section Flight Depth
