ARGOBOND™ Glass Lamination Films provide unmatched optical clarity, layflat, and overall consistent quality. Which is why Argotec dominates 90% of the aerospace canopy and window market that uses TPU optical interlayers, as well as over 50% of the rest of the world's totalusage of these films.

ARGOGUARD™ Paint & Metal Protection Films provide long-lasting surface protection for cars, trucks, appliances, cell phones, computers-any bare or painted metal, glass, or plastic surface that is vulnerable to damagefrom abrasion, chipping, chemicals, or general wear.

ARGOMED™ Medical Films provide benefits to patients and hospital staff alike as liquid and viral barriers, antibacterial wound-carecomponents, and in waterproof-breathable medical textiles.

ARGOFLEX™ Textile Lamination Films for bonding fabric, waterproofing, or air and liquid containment applications.

OMNIFLEX™ Waterproof Breathable Films with odor-control technology for creating textile composites in a single film-to-fabric lamination.

ARGOGRAPH™ Graphics Films utilize a proprietary, lubricant-free urethane resin technology to create highly conformable films that accept all commercial adhesive systems, screen and ink-jet printing inks. They are ideal for use in graphics and protective applications where weather orheavy use are an issue.

ARGOTHANE™ General & Specialty Films are engineered for the general and specialty applications that comprise the remainder of the current specialty films marketplace. In addition to polyurethane, they include other difficult-to-extrude specialty polymers and have beensuccessful used in a wide variety of applications.
