Aegis® PIR-H135MP

Chemical Family: Polyamides

Aegis® PIR-H135MP resin from AdvanSix contains 100% post-industrial recycled (PIR) raw materials while providing the same top performance and processability as Aegis® H135MP, its standard, non-recycled counterpart.Aegis® PIR-H135MP is a lubricated and nucleated high viscosity, nylon 6 extrusion grade homopolymer for cast or blown film. It combines strength, toughness and exceptional thermoforming properties with excellent heat, chemical and abrasion resistance.
