Capran® PIR-1000 film from AdvanSix contains 100% post-industrial recycled (PIR) raw materials while providing the same top performance and processability as Capran® 1000, its standard, non-recycled counterpart.
Capran® PIR-1000 film is a 0.39 mil (10 micron) biaxially oriented nylon 6 film suitable for packaging applications that demand optimum protection and performance. It offers a high gas barrier, excellent toughness and puncture resistance, optical clarity, and exceptional flex crack resistance. Capran® PIR-1000 film nylon 6 film is well-suited for packaging applications requiring optimum protection and performance.
