Aegis® PIR-H100MP

Chemical Family: Polyamides

Aegis® PIR-H100MP resin from AdvanSix contains 100% post-industrial recycled (PIR) raw materials while providing the same top performance and processability as Aegis® H100MP, its standard, non-recycled counterpart.Aegis® PIR-H100MP resin is a lubricated, nucleated, medium-viscosity nylon 6 extrusion grade homopolymer for cast or blown film applications. It features a combination of strength, toughness, and thermoforming properties along with excellent heat, chemical and abrasion resistance.
