Rotary screen printing is a cornerstone of modern textile production, renowned for its speed and efficiency in applying intricate designs. To maximize its potential, the rheology of the printing paste is paramount, and this is where high-quality thickeners come into play. For manufacturers aiming for precision, vibrant colors, and smooth operations, sourcing the right thickener is a critical decision. As a reputable manufacturer and supplier, we understand the specific demands of rotary printing and offer specialized anionic thickeners to meet these needs.

The Role of Thickeners in Rotary Printing

In rotary printing, the printing paste is forced through a cylindrical screen with microscopic perforations. The thickener is responsible for ensuring the paste has the correct viscosity and flow properties to pass through these perforations cleanly and transfer uniformly onto the fabric. An effective thickener for rotary printing should:

  • Provide Optimal Viscosity: The paste needs to be viscous enough to adhere to the screen openings but fluid enough to be transferred efficiently.
  • Maintain Shear Stability: During the high-speed printing process, the paste is subjected to shear forces. The thickener must maintain its viscosity under shear to prevent loss of definition.
  • Ensure Sharpness and Definition: Proper thickening prevents the ink from spreading or 'flushing,' resulting in crisp lines and detailed patterns.
  • Contribute to Color Yield: By controlling pigment suspension and transfer, the thickener helps maximize the intensity and brilliance of the printed colors.
