TAFIGEL PUR 44 offers excellent brush handling, good flow, leveling and gloss, good spatter resistance and very good color acceptance on tinting.
TAFIGEL PUR 44 is also recommended for interior and exterior paints, latex paints, anti-corrosive paints and emulsion plasters.
Features of TAFIGEL PUR 44:
-Based on polyurethane and acrylic co-polymers.
-Associative or swelling thickeners.
-A wide range of rheological profiles possible through proper grade selection.
-Build viscosity over elasticity.
-Effective over a wide pH range.
-APE(O)-, VOC- and organotin-free grades.
Benefits of TAFIGEL PUR 44:
-Easy incorporation at any stage of manufacturing.
-Excellent flow, levelling and gloss characteristics: particularly with the PUR grades.
-A high level of viscosity build-up and sag resistance: especially with the AP grades.
-Non-ionic PUR grades have a very broad compatibility with other components of the formulation.
-Excellent pick-up, reduced brush marks and low spattering.
-Good colour acceptance in tinting applications. Surfactants have little impact on efficacy of newer generation products.

The thickening effect of polyurethane thickeners can be affected by many factors including binder type, co-solvents, coalescing agents, surfactants/wetting agents, pigments and flattening agents. The interactions of TAFIGEL PUR 44 with these compounds allow varied possibilities for rheology adjustment.
Recommended Levels and Uses of TAFIGEL PUR 44:
TAFIGEL PUR 44 can be added undiluted to the grind and before adding the binder.
For post-addition the preparation of a masterbatch is possible with water or a suitable water/co-solvent mixture (e.g. water/Dowanol DPM, 75:25).
Ladder studies are recommended to determine optimum levels.
Normal dosage ranges from 0.3 - 2 % on total formulation.
