Aegis NC73ZP Honeywell Polyamide 6

Product Description

The unique characteristics of Aegis NC73ZP is its ability to reduce the rate of oxygen transmission in film packaging and rigid packaging structures containing Nylon by 50% while maintaining or improving the flavor and aroma barrier, toughness and clarity. Aegis NC73ZP has been extruded and co-extruded as monolayer and multilayer film structures, it has also been injection molded providing a surface finish very similar to Nylon 6. The ease of processing allows vendors to utilize their present molding equipment and technology to broaden their market application of nylon.
