Innovations in Rotary and Flat Printing: The Role of Advanced Thickener Solutions
NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to supporting the evolution of textile printing technologies through the provision of advanced chemical auxiliaries. Rotary printing and flat printing are two of the most prevalent methods used in large-scale textile production, each with its unique demands on the printing paste. The efficiency and quality achieved in both these processes are heavily influenced by the performance of the printing thickeners employed.
In rotary printing, high-speed fabric transfer and continuous paste application require thickeners that provide excellent flow properties and shear thinning characteristics. This ensures that the paste can be easily transferred through the engraved rollers onto the fabric, maintaining consistency across large runs. Similarly, flat printing, whether using screens or digital methods, demands precise viscosity control for sharp image definition and color vibrancy. Advanced thickeners act as critical textile printing auxiliary agents, enabling printers to meet these exacting requirements.
The development of high concentration printing thickeners has been a significant innovation. These products allow for a more compact paste formulation, reducing the amount of water needed and potentially improving the efficiency of the drying and curing stages. Furthermore, the versatility of modern thickeners means they can be adapted for various types of pigments and dyes, and are often formulated to offer a soft handle to the fabric, enhancing the final product's appeal. This combined benefit of improved ink performance and desirable fabric texture is a key focus for NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD.
The industry's drive towards sustainability also plays a crucial role in the innovation of thickener solutions. There is a growing demand for printing pastes that are not only effective but also environmentally friendly and safe for workers. Consequently, APEO-free and formaldehyde-free thickeners are increasingly becoming the standard. These formulations ensure that the printing process is cleaner and that the finished textiles meet stringent safety and ecological certifications. By utilizing these advanced, eco-conscious thickeners, manufacturers can achieve superior results in both rotary and flat printing applications, ensuring optimal ink performance while adhering to global sustainability standards.
NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to be a partner in this ongoing innovation. We provide a range of versatile printing thickeners designed to optimize textile printing processes, ensuring excellent color yield, precise application, and a desirable soft handle, all while prioritizing safety and environmental responsibility.
