TAFIGEL® Rheology Modifiers – Precision Viscosity Control for Coatings & Paints

The TAFIGEL® brand from Münzing offers a high-performance line of associative thickeners and rheology modifiers engineered for use in low- to high-PVC paint and coating systems. These products deliver tailored viscosity profiles, shear thinning behavior, sag resistance, and stable flow properties across a broad pH range.

TAFIGEL® thickeners (e.g. AP-series, PUR-series) are designed to work synergistically with binder and pigment systems. They improve hold, leveling, anti-sag, and brushability, while maintaining gloss and coating appearance. For example, TAFIGEL® AP 10 is formulated for universal use and demands an alkaline environment (pH > 8) for optimal effect.

 Meanwhile, TAFIGEL® PUR series offers associative thickeners that are solvent-free and compatible with polyurethane or hybrid binder systems, enabling refined control of flow behavior. 

Whether in architectural coatings, industrial finishes, wood coatings, or emulsion systems, TAFIGEL® provides formulators with reliable viscosity regulation, consistent performance, and the ability to fine-tune rheology to market requirements.
