Aegis® PIR-H120ZP

Chemical Family: Polyamides

Aegis® PIR-H120ZP resin from AdvanSix contains 100% post-industrial recycled (PIR) raw materials while providing the same top performance and processability as Aegis® H120ZP, its standard, non-recycled counterpart.Aegis® PIR-H120ZP resin is a high viscosity, nylon 6 extrusion grade homopolymer for cast or blown film applications. It combines strength, toughness and thermoforming properties with excellent heat, chemical and abrasion resistance.
