Products & services
ARGUCOLOR - our colorbatches
Our experienced team of colorists mix ARGUCOLOR batches according to customer specifications from almost 100 water-soluble dyes and pigments that are insoluble in water, solvents and binders. With an expert eye, our color professionals check color shades against color fans (RAL, Pantone, HKS), finished parts or granulate samples. For color matching, the customer receives freshly pressed color plates and batches for processing. Only when the tone is right are the customer's wishes and the color batch in harmony. Colorful, flexible, adaptable: our color batches.

ARGUVIN - our light stabilizer
Light stabilizers from sterically hindered amines or UV absorbers for various applications and polymer types to prevent ageing, yellowing and embrittlement and to protect characteristic performance and material properties.
ARGUBOPP - FILMS AS THIN AS PAPER
Our masterbatches for the use in the much sought-after BOPP films are additive concentrates, among others: organic and inorganic antiblocking agents, antistatic agents, permanent slip agents with extremely low friction, the widest application-oriented selection of hydrocarbon resins, UV absorbers, antifogging agents for the food industry as well as a combination of additives with several of these and other properties. Here, too, ARGUS markets only spot-free, top quality masterbatches that meet the highest demands. But that’s not all: BOPP machines are getting faster, films are getting thinner – and the quality is getting better and better. That’s why the BOPP masterbatches team at ARGUS ambitiously works on a number of new product concepts, specifically recommending certain film formulations and skillfully supporting relating BOPP film manufacturers’ projects – under a confidentiality agreement, of course.
ARGUFLAME - innovative flame retardants
Halogenated or halogen-free combinations of additives reduce or prevent the flammability or combustion of plastics by intervening either physically or chemically in the combustion mechanism. They comply both with European and US-American fire standards.
ARGUCOM - ADDITIVE COMBINATIONS
ARGUS is focusing on future-oriented, customer-specific formulations in renowned ARGUS quality. The combination of various groups of additives in a batch increases profitability. Optionally, you can also combine colors with different additives. Customized formulations are possible.
ARGUTHERM - antioxidants
Our antioxidants batches slow down the oxidative degradation of polymers by improving thermal stability. Long-term heat and processing stabilizers (or combinations of these) protect plastics during processing and in the final application.
