TAFIGEL® PUR 82 GR

TAFIGEL® PUR 82 GR is a bio-based drop-in for TAFIGEL® PUR 82. It 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 82 GR can be used alone or in combination with other TAFIGEL® thickeners, as well as with further thickener technologies. Aqueous gloss paints, thickened with TAFIGEL® PUR 82 GR show minimal pseudoplasticity, similar to the rheology of solvent borne systems. TAFIGEL® PUR 82 GR is recommended for use in following systems: Interior and exterior paints, latex paints, anticorrosive paints, adhesives, and printing inks. 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 interactions of TAFIGEL® PUR 82 GR with these compounds allow varied possibilities for rheology adjustment. Advantages of using TAFIGEL® PUR 82 GR: Thickening independent of pH Excellent flow, leveling and gloss Good spatter resistance Excellent colour acceptance on tinting Suitable for indirect food contact applications
