Aegis® HFX barrier nylon resin is an oxygen-scavenging nylon formulated for
the high oxygen barrier demands of juice, tea, and condiment bottles. Typically
these applications are non-carbonated but call for excellent oxygen protection
in conjunction with superior delamination performance. For example, hot-filled
and/or hot-stored bottles place stringent demands on the integrity of the
multilayer interface. Through the suppression of crystallization, bottles made
with Aegis® HFX barrier nylon resin display very low levels of delamination in
all phases of the bottle supply chain - bottle making, filling, distribution
and end use. In addition, Aegis® HFX barrier nylon resin provides glass-like
clarity and recyclability. Aegis® HFX barrier nylon resin is well suited to the
co-injection process, because the recommended processing temperature of Aegis®
HFX barrier nylon resin is similar to that of PET.
