Aegis® H100MP

Aegis® H100MP is a lubricated and nucleated medium viscosity, nylon 6 extrusion grade homopolymer for cast or blown film applications. It conforms to FDA requirements of 21 CFR 177.1500 as well as EU Directive 2011/10/EC. It possesses the combination of strength, toughness and thermoforming properties associated with nylon 6 as well as excellent heat, chemical and abrasion resistance.

Nylon Polyamide 6 (PA 6) Processing Methods: Blown extrusion, film extrusion, thermoforming, cast film extrusion, blown film extrusion, pipe, profile and tubing extrusionProperties and Features: Food contact acceptable, abrasion resistant, fast crystallisation,   chemical resistant, good strength, heat resistance, homopolymer, improved toughness, lubricated, nucleated and medium viscosityDownload TDSApplication ideas: Widely used to manufacture vacuum bags, casings and pouches for packaging, Aegis® resins deliver outstanding performance that is valued by film producers and their customers. The strength and barrier qualities of Aegis® resins help maintain everything from the aroma of fine ground coffees to the freshness of high-value steaks, and the integrity of life-saving medical devices. These resins offer outstanding performance that provides improved protection and extended shelf life for food and other products in consumer and industrial markets. They also help maintain the aroma and taste of foods. Good flexibility and performance over a wide range of temperatures makes them a material of choice for many applications.Processing GuidelinesMaterial HandlingAegis® H100MP homopolymer is supplied in sealed containers and drying prior to processing is not required. However, highmoisture is the primary cause of processing problems. If drying becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryeroperating at 80°C (176°F) is recommended. Drying time is dependent on moisture level. Further information concerning safehandling procedures can be obtained from the Safety Data Sheet. Alternatively, please contact your AdvanSix representative.Extrusion GuidelinesMelt Viscosity vs. TemperatureMelt Temperature: 220°C (428°F)Melt Temperature Range: 232°C (450°F) to 271°C (520°F).Two key factors affect the melt viscosity (stiffness or fluidity of the melt):1. The molecular weight (Mw) of the resin: Higher Mw resins will have a higher melt viscosity than lower Mw resins.2. Temperature of the melt for any given Mw resin: Higher process temperatures will provide a more fluid melt viscosity than lower process temperatures.Typical Barrel Profile for Cast FilmsBarrel: 230-260°C (446-500°F)Adapter: 260-266°C (500-510°F)Die: 260°C (500°F)Process Melt Temperature: 260-270°C (500-518°F)Typical Barrel Profile for Tubular (Blown) FilmsBarrel: 246-254°C (474-490°F)Adapter: 260°C (500°F)Die: 254°C (490°F)Process Melt Temperature: 254-260°C (490-500°F)Screw ParametersMetering Section: 40%Transition Section: 3 to 4 flightsFeed Section: Balance of screw lengthCompression Ratio: 3.5:1 to 4.0:1L/D Ratio: 24:1 AdvanSix AdvanSix Polymers and Resins,Thermoplastics,Polyamides Consumer goods,Printing and Packaging
