Water-based textile printing has emerged as the preferred method for its environmental benefits and versatility. Central to this process are water-based textile printing auxiliaries, especially pigment printing thickeners, which dictate the quality and efficiency of the print. This

technical guide to water-based textile printing auxiliaries from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. delves into the core aspects of these essential components.


Our Pigment Printing Thickener is an advanced

anionic acrylic polymer thickener, designed as an acrylic acid-based macromolecule. This composition ensures excellent rheological properties, critical for smooth application and superior print results. The typical appearance is a milky white liquid, signifying its stability and ease of dispersion in water. It operates within an optimal pH range of 6-7 and boasts a solid content of over 65%, highlighting its high concentration and efficiency.


A significant technical advantage of our product is its

APEO-free textile printing thickener and formaldehyde-free nature, aligning with modern environmental standards like ZDHC. This not only makes the product safer to use but also contributes to a cleaner manufacturing process. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for ammonia addition during dispersion, simplifying the preparation phase and reducing processing time for textile manufacturers.


The application methodology is straightforward: it can be mixed directly with water to form a white paste before adding pigment and binder, or stirred directly with binder and pigment paste. The recommended dosage, typically around 1.5-1.8%, allows for precise viscosity control. This

water-based acrylic pigment printing thickener ensures high color yield, sharp definition, and a soft hand feel on printed fabrics. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. commits to providing comprehensive technical support, ensuring that our clients can maximize the benefits of our high-performance textile auxiliaries for their diverse printing needs.
