TAFIGEL® AP 75 N

TAFIGEL® AP 75 N is a synthetic thickener designed for universal use in low to high PVC systems. In comparison to common HASE thickeners it shows a stronger associative thickening character. TAFIGEL® AP 75 N requires an alkaline pH-value (>8) for optimum efficiency. Main applications: Decorative Coatings Industrial and wood coatings Architectural coatings Adhesives Printing inks Paper coatings Conforms with 21 CFR 176.170 and 176.180: When used at a maximum level of 1% in coatings applied to uncoated or clay coated paper and paperboard at a maximum rate of 6 lb/1000 ft2 (wet basis).

AGITAN 352 is a special composition with excellent stability and high efficiency. AGITAN 352 is alkali and acid resistant and can be used in a pH-range between 3 and 12.

TAFIGEL PUR 41 is designed as an "associative thickener" which builds up and stabilizes viscosity by forming a network between polyurethane, binder molecules and pigment particles. TAFIGEL PUR 41 can be used alone or in combination with other TAFIGEL thickeners as well as with further thickener technologies. TAFIGEL PUR 41 is recommended for use in following systems: Interior and exterior paints, latex paints, anti-corrosive paints, emulsion plasters, adhesives and joint fillers.

TAFIGEL AP 17 is synthetic acrylate-based thickener for coatings and paints with a pH-value up to 12. It is particularly designed for an enhanced storage stability and to minimize the post thickening effects in paints such as silicate-based interior- and exterior wallpaints. Moreover, it does not raise the undesired elastic behaviour and ensures a good application ability of paints. This product increases notably the wet abrasion resistance compared to cellulose ethers.

TAFIGEL AP 18 is a highly hydrolysis stable and effective synthetic acrylate-based thickener for coatings and paints with extreme pH-values up to 13. This product does not raise the undesired elastic behaviour and ensures a good application ability of paints and coatings. Moreover, it increases notably the wet abrasion resistance compared to cellulose ethers.

TAFIGEL PUR 60 is designed as an "associative thickener" which builds up and stabilizes viscosity by forming a network between polyurethane, binder molecules and other paint ingredients. TAFIGEL PUR 60 provides strong pseudoplastic rheological profile with excellent shear thinning characteristics. It can be used alone or in combination with other TAFIGEL thickeners, as well as with further thickener technologies. TAFIGEL PUR 60 is designed for use in industrial coatings. It is also recommended for following systems: Interior and exterior paints, latex paints, anti-corrosive paints, emulsion plasters, adhesives and joint fillers.
