TAFIGEL® PUR 54 GR
EMEA · Americas · Asia/Oceania
Product Details
TAFIGEL® PUR 54 GR is a bio-based drop-in for TAFIGEL® PUR 54. It is a low viscous, solvent-free associative thickener which builds up and stabilizes viscosity by forming a network between polyurethane, binder molecules and other paint ingredients. TAFIGEL® PUR 54 GR can be used alone or in combination with other TAFIGEL® thickeners, as well as with further technology thickeners. TAFIGEL® PUR 54 GR is recommended for use in following systems: Interior and exterior paints, latex paints, anti-corrosive paints, emulsion plasters, adhesives, putties, printing inks and car care. The performance of polyurethane thickeners is affected by many factors including binder type, co-solvents, coalescing agents, surfactants/wetting agents, pigments and flattening agents. The interaction of TAFIGEL® PUR 54 GR with these compounds allows varied possibilities for rheology adjustment.
Advantages of using TAFIGEL® PUR 54 GR:
- Thickening independent of pH
- Excellent application properties
- Good flow, leveling and gloss
- Good spatter resistance
- Very good colour acceptance on tinting
- Easy handling due to low viscosity of TAFIGEL® PUR 54 GR
- Suitable for indirect food contact applications

We continue the conversation of sustainability initiatives by MÜNZING and pursuing our high sustainability goals. In this article our R&D team explains how they face the challenge of creating sustainable formulations that match or exceed performance of standard fossil additives. By discovering and utilizing new raw materials and technologies we aim to reduce CO2 footprint of our products and further extend our comprehensive portfolio of green additives to support paint manufacturers in achieving their objectives, without compromising on performance. The article appeared in the September issue of PCI and was written by Tina Leyh (Sustainability Coordinator and Lab Manager), Dr. Patrick Röske (Lab Manager R&D Sustainable Additives) and Michael Bilger (Technology Coordinator), all located in our R&D department at MÜNZING CHEMIE in Abstatt, Germany.

TAFIGEL® PUR 55
TAFIGEL PUR 55 is designed as a solvent-free “associative thickener” which builds up and stabilizes viscosity by forming a network between polyurethane, binder molecules and other paint ingredients. Aqueous paints with TAFIGEL PUR 55 show minimum pseudoplasticity, similar to rheology profiles of solvent borne lacquers. It can be used alone or in combination with other TAFIGEL thickeners, as well as with cellulosic and acrylic thickeners. TAFIGEL PUR 55 is recommended for use in following systems: Interior/ exterior architectural paints, high gloss coatings, anti- corrosive paints, emulsion plasters, printing inks, adhesives and joint fillers.
