Additives for plastic compounds, masterbatches & film production
The careful selection of additives, such as antioxidants and light stabilizers, can extend the life of plastics, rubber articles or adhesives. Among other things, additives prevent the chemical and physical degradation of polymers during the manufacturing process and during their use, which is caused by oxygen, heat, light or shear forces.

APYRAL®
Mineral flame retardants with a high temperature stability and acid-resitance. Synergistic effects with other flame retardantsARGUBLOCK
Create a micro-rough surface on e.g. films and thus a paper-thin air layer as a separation layer when putting the films each other. This reduce the adhesion of a materials to itself or other materials and improve slippage.ARGUBOPP
Different single and combination batches from e.g. additives or fillers provide BOPP films with the desired properties or open up new technological possibilities for applications with promising potentials.ARGUCLEAN
Compounds for cleaning the extruder and tools when material and colour are changed as well as for machine shutdown.ARGUCOLOR
Masterbaches for the coloring of a wide range of plastics products. We offer a highest quality coloring concentrates palette of basic colors, as well as: fluorescent, transparent and special effects colors. We propose individual solutions and colormatching on customer's request to the finished parts or granule samples and against a RAL, Pantone, HKS, Munsell, or NCS color pattern.ARGUCOM
The combination of various group of additives in a batch increases profitability. Optionally, you can also combine colours with different additives. Customized formulation are possible.ARGUFILL
Fillers define the mechanical properties to improve the material. They allow to reduce the costs of production of plastic products, without lowering the quality of the product, and in some cases even raising its quality.ARGUFLAME
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.ARGUFOG
Antifogging agents prevent the formation of water drips on the surface of packaging and agricultural films during condensation. The surface remains largely transparent as the condensing water creates a coherent film.ARGUMELT
Improve the extrusion properties of the polymer melt (extrusion aid, rheology improver) and reduce the deposits on the extruder surface.ARGUNUC
Are used to accelerate the crystallization of plastics for more transparency and stiffness, to reduce the cycle time and create uniform fine foam structures.ARGUSLIP
Internal slip agents improve rheology of the melt. External slip agents increase the smoothness and the surface gloss of the end product, reduce friction and improve the flow properties of the melt.ARGUTEC
Hightech masterbaches like fiber-finishing agents, bio-degradable and compostable, scents and flavors, electrets, melt modifiers, hydrolysis protection, hydrophilic, hydrophobics and laser sensitizers.ARGUTHERM
Slow down the oxidative degradation of polymers by improving thermal stability. Long-term heat and processing stabilizers (or combination of these) protect plastics during processing and in the final application.ARGUVIN
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 property.Chimassorb® HALS (sterically hindered amines)
HALS additives act as radical scavengers and thus make a significant contribution as light stabilizers alone and together with UV absorbers.Controzon Antiozonant waxes
Controzon waxes form a flexible wax film on the surfaces of the vulcanizates and protect them from crack formation caused by ozone attack under static conditions. Additionally, Controzon waxes act as carriers for chemical ozone protection agents or antioxidants and improve their effectiveness. The addition of about 2 phr prevents the ozone attack known as the “frosting effect”.Deolink® Activators for fillers (Silanes)
Also called Silicon Hydride, any of a series of covalently bonded compounds containing only the elements silicon and hydrogen. They are used in a variety of Rubber & Coatings applications to improve physical and performance properties like improved abrasion, adhesion, and cross-link density without effecting compression set.Deostab® Vulcanization stabilizers
Vulcanization is a chemical process used to harden rubber. Vulcanization traditionally referred to the treatment of natural rubber with sulfur. Vulcanization stabilizers are used to improve the thermal stability of the rubber. They compensate the negative effect of CaO on the state of cure and improves the compression set without influencing the activity of the desiccant (CaO).Deovulc® Activators
Vulcanization Activators. are important rubber processing additives that activate sulfur cure and improve the efficiency of sulfur-based cure systems. The most common activator is zinc fatty acid ester which is often formed in-situ by reaction of fatty acid with zinc oxide.Deovulc® vulcanization retarder
They are pre-vulcanization inhibitors. In order to avoid premature vulcanization during processing, retarders are often added to the curing system. These compounds increase the induction time by reacting with the active accelerator fragment, which slows down or temporarily prevents the formation of zinc salt.Flamestab® NOR flame retardant
Flamestab® is an organic and halogen-free flame retardant for the plastics industry. It is suitable for use in nonwoven applications such as woven fabric constructions, indoor and outdoor artificial turf, monofilaments and tapes made of polypropylene, and applications involving polypropylene fibers. Flamestab® meets the highest safety standards and is suitable for a wide range of applications.Irgaclear® Clarifier nucleating agents
Characterized in particular in the application in polypropylene, by the transparency of the polymer is significantly increased.Irgafos® Phosphite process stabilizers
Irgafos additives are secondary antioxidants that act as peroxy radical scavengers during plastics processing.KRATON™ D
Modification of bitumen/asphalt, as impact modification of styrenes, as well as thermoformed packaging and compounds.Melapur® Melamin based flame retardants
Halogen-free, melamine-based flame retardants, which are predominantly used in polyamide or TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane granules).RC Titanium dioxide
Universally applicable titanium dioxide, especially for high-quality water- and solvent-based coating systems, with uniform particle size distribution, high whiteness and high opacity.SONGNOX® Antioxidants
SONGNOX® antioxidants extend the life of plastics. Our SONGNOX® product range includes Phenolic Antioxidants (AOs), Phosphite Antioxidants, Thioester Antioxidants, Aminic Antioxidants and Binary Blends.SONGNOX® One pack systems (OPS)
SONGNOX® OPS are 100% active additive blends, which are tailored to customer needs from a wide range of additive products. Homogeneous and highly precise in composition, the predispersed pellets can be easily processed into a polymer matrix. OPS help to optimize our customers' compounding processes by improving dosing accuracy, minimizing dust, increasing process reliability and reducing costs for quality control and logistics.SONGXTEND® Polymer stabilizers
SONGXTEND® Stabilizing Packages enable manufacturers and processors of polypropylene, (PP) to maintain production at high temperatures while ensuring the desired properties of the polymer. At the same time, decomposition and discoloration under difficult processing conditions are avoided. These stabilization packages have also been developed for the automotive industry and counteract in particular problems such as fogging and odor formation in the vehicle interior. Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) are thus reduced.Techsurf® Additives for polyolefin fibers and nonwovens
Techsurf® melt additives impart hydrophilicity to polyolefin fibers, nonwovens and specialty plastics applications. These melting additives help to reduce the surface resistance of the finished fabric, increase absorbency and improve softness. Techsurf® is used in the manufacture of diapers and wipes as well as medical tubing.Tinuvin® UV absorbers
UV absorbers absorb the harmful UV radiation of the wavelength 290-400 nm and convert this light energy into harmless heat.
