Aegis® PIR-H100QP
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
Aegis® PIR-H100QP resin from AdvanSix contains 100% post-industrial recycled (PIR) raw materials while providing the same top performance and processability as Aegis® H100QP, its standard, non-recycled counterpart.Aegis® PIR-H100QP is a lubricated, medium viscosity, nylon 6 extrusion grade homopolymer for cast or blown film. Aegis® PIR-H100QP homopolymer possesses the combination of strength, toughness and thermoforming properties associated with nylon 6 as well as excellent heat, chemical and abrasion resistance.
