SURFACE FINISHES
AND COLORS
Argotec can extrude its flat-die and cast-on-carrier films with three basic surface finishes:

CUSTOM FORMULATIONS
TO MEET EVERY NEED
Argotec films are available with standard additive packages or mixed into custom formulations to provide the following characteristics:

AVAILABLE CARRIERS
Argotec films can be cast on carriers that provide ease of handling, especially with very thin films; carriers can also be used as a part of the finished application, as in medical transdermal or automotive paint protection applications. Available carriers include polyethylene, polyester, and paper.

While diameter will vary with the gauge of the film, Argotec can provide the longest, splice-free rolls in the industry.
