The textile industry's commitment to sustainability is growing, driving demand for eco-friendly chemical auxiliaries. For professionals in textile printing, selecting greener alternatives without compromising performance is a key objective. This article highlights the advantages of APEO-free acrylic thickeners in sustainable textile printing and guides procurement managers and formulation scientists on identifying responsible suppliers. We are a leading manufacturer committed to providing environmentally compliant and high-performance textile chemicals.

The Environmental Imperative in Textile Printing
Traditional textile auxiliaries have sometimes contained substances of concern, such as Alkylphenol Ethoxylates (APEOs), which are known to have environmental persistence and toxicity. The shift towards APEO-free formulations is a significant step in making textile printing processes more sustainable. Our acrylic thickener is proudly formulated without APEO, ensuring that your operations meet both performance and environmental standards.

Performance Advantages of APEO-Free Acrylic Thickeners
Moving to APEO-free alternatives does not mean sacrificing quality. Our acrylic thickener, an anionic polymer with a high solid content (≥65%), offers excellent thickening capabilities and stability for printing pastes. Its specific advantages include:

  • Consistent Viscosity: It provides reliable rheological control for sharp prints and efficient paste application.
  • High Performance: Achieve vibrant colors and excellent definition, demonstrating that sustainability and performance can go hand-in-hand.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for pigment printing, dyeing, and post-processing, it serves multiple functions in textile finishing.
  • Safe Handling: The absence of APEOs also contributes to a safer working environment for personnel.
