Identification & Functionality

Aegis® PIR-MBM Features & Benefits

Benefits of Using PIR-Grade Products from AdvanSix
  • No compromise in performance or processability
  • Greater recycled resin content less virgin resin) in end products
  • Smaller anticipated environmental footprint
  • No costly requalification needed for existing customers
  • No added food contact concerns
  • Cost-effective path to sustainability

Applications & Uses

Application

Aegis® PIR-MBM is a terminated, non-delustered, bright medium dye, medium viscosity nylon 6 resin for carpet fiber and synthetic turf extrusion applications.

Processing Guidelines

Material Handling

Aegis® PIR-MBM 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.

The Best of Both Worlds: Trusted Performance and Sustainability

New PIR-grade products from AdvanSix offer manufacturers an opportunity to get the best of both worlds: trusted performance AND a reduced environmental footprint.

Because these products offer the same excellent physical and mechanical properties as their traditional counterparts, customers can also expect:

  • A seamless path to producing more sustainable downstream products.
  • No costly requalification process.
  • No issues related to collection contamination or food contact.
  • No issues typically associated with post-consumer recycled nylon.

 

Now manufacturers have the means of retaining packaging performance with raw materials that can help improve their reputation for sustainability. See Table 1 for application examples.
