It all starts with...
sustainability.

ALL NYLON IS NOT CREATED EQUALLY.

Imagine recycled nylon as good as the original. AdvanSix already did. Across industries and applications, our post-industrial recycled (PIR) and post-consumer recycled (PCR) grades, independently certified Aegis® nylon materials can help customers with a “Ready Now” solution for net-zero plastics, bridging the technology gaps that exist today. Let’s take the journey towards a more sustainable future together.

VISIT US AT THE GLOBAL POUCH FORUM

Nylon Solutions expert Tom Clark will attend The Global Pouch Forum in Clearwater, FL from May 29 -31. Schedule a meeting or stop by table 408 to learn how AdvanSix Aegis® PIR/PCR nylon materials can help support your sustainability efforts by delivering the same quality product while offering a cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint about 80% lower than our virgin nylon.

Recycled nylon as good as virgin grades.

AdvanSix PIR and PCR grades of Aegis® resins use independently certified 100% recycled content to produce nylon 6 products that are every bit as processable, formable and durable as their virgin nylon counterparts. They offer customers identical, excellent physical and mechanical properties as conventional nylon products.

Our PIR and PCR caprolactam uses a proprietary monomer recovery process to reduce carbon footprint as compared to that of our virgin caprolactam. This, in turn, creates an outsized, favorable impact on the sustainability of PIR/PCR grade caprolactam and all downstream products made from it.

100% recycled content

Employing 100% recycled content certified by two independent third parties,[1] AdvanSix is committed to helping our customers meet the growing demand for reliable, cost-effective, fully traceable materials today.

AUTOMOTIVE

Our durable engineering plastics grade low-viscosity nylon resins can make car parts lighter, improve gas mileage and reduce dependence on fossil fuel. Aegis® PIR/PCR resins contain 100% PCR or 100% PIR grade nylon 6, while providing the same top performance and processability as those counterpart grade products containing virgin nylon 6, therefore requiring no costly re-qualifications or expensive process and equipment changes.

CONSUMER GOODS

AdvanSix products help create the consumer goods we use every day. From clothing to carpets, nylon is a preferred choice for everyday items and high-performance materials. With our recycled Aegis® PIR/PCR nylon resin you don’t have to compromise performance or processibility for sustainability benefits. As drop-in replacements for counterpart virgin products with identical properties with no costly re-qualifications or expensive process and equipment changes.

ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONICS

Wires and cables help power the world. Aegis® nylon jacket compounds, also available in grades containing 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) or 100% post-industrial recycled (PIR) nylon 6, can help protect and insulate wires and cables from physical and chemical damage during installation and throughout their service life. All our nylon jacket compounds meet stringent UL standards.

FOOD & NUTRITION

AdvanSix PIR and PCR grade Aegis® nylon 6 products offer the same excellent physical and mechanical properties just as their counterpart virgin products. They meet the exacting requirements of convertors, brand owners and consumers for packaging that are compliant with food and medical packaging standards.
