Capran® PIR-1200 film from AdvanSix contains 100% post-industrial recycled (PIR) raw materials while providing the same top performance and processability as Capran® 1200, its standard, non-recycled counterpart.
Capran® 1200 is a 0.47 mil (12 micron) biaxially oriented nylon 6 film for packaging applications that require optimum protection and performance. It features a superior balance of properties, including a high gas barrier, excellent toughness and puncture resistance, optical clarity, and exceptional flex crack resistance.
