Grain

Argor-Heraeus is a specialist in producing high-purity precious metal grains. Through our advanced granulation and refining techniques, we deliver exceptional quality, flawless consistency, and full traceability.

Precision in every grain

We offer an exquisite selection of fine gold (Au), silver (Ag), palladium (Pd), and platinum (Pt) grains, alongside a wide range of expertly alloyed metal grains based on these noble elements. Designed for precision, our grains serve as the foundation for custom alloys and can be directly cast to meet the most exacting standards. Our state-of-the-art granulation technology ensures uncompromised homogeneity and purity in every batch. All precious metals are refined in-house at our own facilities and rigorously tested by our accredited laboratory.
