The aesthetic appeal and functional performance of textiles are heavily influenced by the quality of their prints. Reactive printing, particularly on natural fibers like cotton and regenerated cellulosic fibers such as rayon, demands precise formulation of print pastes to achieve vibrant, wash-fast colors and sharp, well-defined patterns. Central to achieving these outcomes is the selection of appropriate thickening agents, with anionic synthetic thickeners emerging as a preferred choice for many textile manufacturers. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of such high-performance textile auxiliaries.

Anionic synthetic thickeners, often acrylic polymer emulsions, are specifically designed to impart the desired rheological properties to printing pastes. Their anionic nature contributes to their compatibility with a wide range of dye types and auxiliaries commonly used in reactive printing. Crucially, they provide excellent thickening efficiency and stability, ensuring that the print paste maintains its viscosity during application and does not prematurely degrade, which is especially important in high-speed printing operations.

When printing with reactive dyes on cotton or rayon, the print paste needs to have a specific flow behavior – it must be fluid enough to be easily transferred through screens or rollers, yet viscous enough to prevent the dye from spreading or wicking uncontrollably into the fabric. Our synthetic thickener, supplied as a milky paste, is formulated to meet these exacting requirements. It provides a pseudoplastic flow, meaning it thins under shear (like when passing through a screen) and regains viscosity when the shear is removed, ensuring sharp print definition. The product's high solid content (over 75%) ensures potent thickening capabilities, allowing for efficient formulation and potentially lower usage rates, which benefits our clients looking to buy cost-effective solutions.

The applications extend to creating stock pastes, where our thickener can be used either alone or in combination with other thickeners like sodium alginate, offering flexibility to formulators. For example, a typical recipe for a stock paste might incorporate 12-15 kgs of our synthetic thickener per 1000 kgs of paste, depending on the desired final viscosity. This adaptability makes it a valuable component for textile mills seeking reliable and versatile chemical inputs. As a manufacturer committed to quality and environmental compliance (REACH certified), NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that our products support both performance and sustainability goals.
