Aegis® H55WCX

Aegis® H55WCX is a medium viscosity, heat stabilized, nylon 6 universal wire jacket compound providing excellent performance across the range of THHN, THWN and TFFN constructions. It also offers a well-balanced set of properties including flexibility, toughness, abrasion resistance and excellent resistance to gasoline, oil and other hydrocarbons. Aegis® H55WCX nylon compound has been investigated in accordance with the test methods outlined in ANSI/UL 1581 and ANSI/UL 83 and is certified under UL QMTT2 for use in wire, cable and flexible lighting products.

Nylon Polyamide 6 (PA 6) Processing Methods: Extrusion, Film Extrusion, Thermoforming, Blow Molding, Cast Film Extrusion, Blown Film Extrusion, Profile Extrusion, Compounding, Pipe, Profile & Tubing ExtrusionProperties and Features: Abrasion Resistant, Good Flexibility, Good Gasoline Resistance, Good Toughness, Heat Stabilized, Homopolymer, Low Temperature Flexibility, Medium Viscosity ,Oil ResistantDownload TDSApplication ideas: Aegis® nylon jacket compounds are UL QMTT2- and UL QMTM2-listed wiring components specifically designed for high-performance uses, including in: Residential buildings, Commercial buildings, Plenum cables, Machine tools, Automobiles, Appliances.Material HandlingMaximum Water Content: 0.12%Aegis® H55WCX nylon compound is supplied in sealed containers and drying prior to processing is not required. However, high moisture is the primary cause of processing issues. If drying becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryer operating at 70°C (158°F) is recommended. Drying time is dependent on moisture level.Melt Viscosity vs TemperatureMelting point, ASTM D-738: 220°C (428°F). The recommended melt temperature range is 240-275°C (464-527°F).Typical Extrusion Temperature ProfileBarrel: 249-266°C (480-510°F)Adapter: 260-266°C (500-510°F)Die: 260-266°C (500-510°F)Process Melt Temperature: 260-270°C (500-518°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 Automotive and transportation,Electrical and Electronics
