Capran® PIR-1200RT

Capran® PIR 1200RT is a 0.47 mil (12 micron) biaxially oriented nylon 6 film. It features a superior balance of properties, including high gas barrier, excellent toughness and puncture resistance, optical clarity, and exceptional flex crack resistance. Capran® PIR 1200RT is particularly recommended for retort applications and is well-suited for packaging applications requiring optimum protection and performance

• 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

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.
