Aegis® PIR-H55ZIE
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
Aegis® PIR-H55ZIE resin from AdvanSix contains 100% post-industrial recycled (PIR) raw materials while providing the same top performance and processability as Aegis® H55ZIE, its standard, non-recycled counterpart. Aegis® PIR-H55ZIE is an unterminated, medium viscosity, nylon 6 homopolymer well-suited for monofilament and multifilament applications, including carpet fiber (natural and SDN) and industrial textiles.

Material Handling. Aegis® PIR-H55ZIE is supplied in sealed containers and drying prior to processing is not required. However, higher 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. More information about safe handling procedures can be obtained by requesting the Safety Data Sheet.
