Theres No Barrier to Innovation at Honeywell

For todays lifestyles, people like the easygoing convenience of lightweight, resealable, smaller-size plastic beverage bottles. But they expect the same quality of flavor and freshness they receive from glass containers. For packaging, that means a barrier to keep oxygen out.

For todays lifestyles, people like the easygoing convenience of lightweight, resealable, smaller-size plastic beverage bottles. But they expect the same quality of flavor and freshness they receive from glass containers. For packaging, that means a barrier to keep oxygen out. And, in some cases, a barrier to keep carbon dioxide in. That#s the challenge – a challenge Honeywell readily accepts. Honeywell continually explores and extends the capabilities of nylon. Aegis high barrier nylon resin is the latest development and the company is proud to be one of the first companies to successfully produce these polymerized nylon 6 nanoblends. Aegis resins dramatically extend the shelf life and flavor-preserving capabilities of multilayer PET bottles. Bottles made with Aegis high barrier resins also demonstrate excellent resistance to delamination, process easily, have excellent clarity, and are recyclable and cost competitive. Tailored to the needs of specific multilayer PET bottle market segments, Honeywell has developed three grades of Aegis high barrier nylon: Aegis OX, Aegis HFX and Aegis CSD.
