The effective application of textile thickeners is crucial for achieving high-quality prints and efficient production. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. presents this technical guide on Sylic® 316B High Concentration Reactive Printing Thickener, an acrylate polymer designed for optimal performance in reactive printing. Understanding the nuances of its application can significantly enhance your textile printing outcomes, from paste preparation to final fabric washing.


One of the most frequently asked questions revolves around how to use reactive printing thickener effectively. Sylic® 316B can be used with sodium alginate or as a primary thickener after paste forming. For best results, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. recommends careful weighing and separate dilution before full mixing. Using soft water for dilution is also strongly recommended, with stability tests advised if soft water is unavailable. This meticulous approach ensures the paste's ideal consistency and performance.


The typical process flow for reactive printing with Sylic® 316B involves paste preparation, rotary or flat screen printing, drying (100-110°C, 1.5-2 min), steaming (101-105°C, 8-10 min), and finally, washing. Adjustments to this process should be made based on preliminary trials to suit specific fabric types and desired effects. The sylic 316b textile thickener application is designed to be adaptable, providing flexibility for various production scales and demands.


Storage and handling are also critical for maintaining the product's efficacy. Sylic® 316B should be stored under room temperature in hermetic conditions, away from direct sunlight, for up to 6 months. If separation or freezing occurs, gentle stirring or thawing followed by stirring will restore its properties.
