TAFIGEL PUR 45 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 45 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 45 show minimal pseudoplasticity, similar to the rheology of solvent borne systems. TAFIGEL PUR 45 is recommended for use in following systems: Interior and exterior paints, latex paints, anticorrosive paints, emulsion plasters, adhesives, printing inks and joint fillers.
