TAFIGEL® PUR 85 is a rheology modifier designed for aqueous systems, manufactured by MÜNZING CHEMIE GmbH. Here are some key details about this product:
Composition: TAFIGEL® PUR 85 is composed of non-ionic polyurethane in water. It is free from APE (alkylphenol ethoxylates), VOC (volatile organic compounds), and organotin.
Appearance: It is a white, turbid liquid.
Typical Properties:
Properties/Applications: TAFIGEL® PUR 85 functions as an "associative thickener," which enhances and stabilizes viscosity by forming a network between polyurethane, binder molecules, and other paint ingredients. It can be used alone or in combination with other TAFIGEL thickeners or other thickener technologies. It finds applications in various systems such as interior and exterior paints, latex paints, anticorrosive paints, adhesives, and printing inks.
Advantages:
Recommended Levels/Use: TAFIGEL® PUR 85 can be added at any stage during the manufacturing process, and predilution with water is often unnecessary. It's advisable to conduct ladder studies to determine the optimum level, with normal dosage ranging from 0.3% to 2% of the total formulation.
Storage/Handling: The product is not sensitive to freezing and should be stored cool and dry. A creamy layer may form on the surface during storage, so proper stirring is necessary before use. The minimum shelf life in closed containers is 15 months from the date of manufacture.
