ARGOGUARD™
PAINT & METAL PROTECTION FILMS

Adhesive coaters and automotive engineers around the world look to Argotec for high-performance, aliphatic polyurethane paint- and metal-protection films with the consistent optical clarity, lay-flat, UV resistance, and Class-A gloss finish they require for their products.

Perhaps the largest extruder of urethane paint protection films for the global automotive aftermarket, Argotec utilizes a proprietary polyurethane formulation that, for the last decade, has provided outstanding processability for the adhesive coater. ArgoGuard™ paint- and metal-protection films are also highly printable, expanding the application of these long-lasting films to automotive graphics.

ARGOGUARD™ FEATURES

ArgoGuard™ films possess the following characteristics:

• Ultraviolet resistance, non-yellowing.
• Proprietary extrusion techniques that produce the flattest films in the industry.
• Paint-like gloss finish.
• Virtually gel-free optical clarity.
• Consistent processability in the adhesive coater's production operation.
• A wide range of hardnesses.
• Tough, durable, abrasion and chip resistance.
• Resistant to bugs and road chemicals.
• Available 0.4 - 12 mils thick.
• Widest sheet in the industry, up to 72 inches.
• Longest splice-free rolls available anywhere.

Add these benefits to Argotec's ability to custom engineer just the right film to meet the specific needs of your application and the result is a product line that contributes to a consistency of value unequalled in the urethane film industry.

CARRIERS FOR ANY APPLICATION

ArgoGuard™ paint- and metal-protection films are available in thicknesses from 0.4 to 12 mils. They can be cast on paper, polyethylene, or polyester carriers for ease of handling in the adhesive coating process, or as a component of the product to aid in final installation of the film.

NOT JUST FOR CARS & TRUCKS

ArgoGuard™ films are also ideal for protecting vulnerable surfaces on more than just cars and trucks. They provide excellent abrasion and impact resistance for motorcycles, boats, recreational vehicles, appliances, gloss metallic surfaces on computers, cell phone components, propeller blades, and any other metal surface needing protection from scrapes, scouring, or other types of erosive damage. They can also be used as a protective interlayer when bending materials in a sheet metal brake.

INDUSTRY LEADING TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Engineers at the Argotec Innovation Center stand ready to interact with process engineers at the customer's location to ensure that all ArgoGuard™ films perform properly in their production processes. They are also available to test the newest resins, engineer distinct formulations, and to troubleshoot both new and existing applications.
