In the realm of textile printing, the tactile quality of the finished fabric is as crucial as its visual appeal. For reactive printing, achieving a soft and pleasant fabric handle is a key objective for many brands and manufacturers. This desirable softness is often directly linked to the destarching properties of the printing thickener used. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., a prominent chemical manufacturer and supplier in China, specializes in thickeners that deliver both excellent print performance and superior fabric softness.

Understanding Destarching in Textile Printing

After the printing and steaming process in reactive printing, the thickener, along with unfixed dyes, is typically washed off the fabric. The ease and completeness with which the thickener film is removed is known as destarching. A high destarch rate means that the thickener residue left on the fabric is minimal.

Why are high destarch properties important?

  • Fabric Softness: Residual thickener can create a stiff or boardy feel on the fabric. Thickeners with high destarching capabilities ensure the fabric retains its natural softness and drape.
  • Improved Hand Feel: For apparel and home textiles, a soft touch is a key attribute that enhances user comfort and perceived quality.
  • Cleanliness of Print: Effective destarching also contributes to a cleaner print by removing any auxiliary residues that might affect the fabric's finish.

For R&D scientists and product formulators looking to buy textile chemicals that impart premium qualities, the destarching characteristic of a thickener is a vital consideration. Purchasing from a manufacturer that prioritizes this property is essential.
