The textile industry relies on a sophisticated array of chemicals known as textile auxiliaries to enhance fabric processing, dyeing, printing, and finishing. Among these, synthetic binders play a particularly crucial role, especially in printing applications. As a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemicals, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides essential synthetic binders that are vital for achieving high-quality textile prints.

What are Textile Auxiliaries?

Textile auxiliaries are chemical substances added during various stages of textile manufacturing to improve the efficiency of processes or to impart specific properties to the fabric. These can include wetting agents, dispersants, leveling agents, softeners, and, critically for printing, binders.

The Indispensable Role of Synthetic Binders in Textile Printing

Synthetic binders are the backbone of pigment printing. Without them, pigments would simply flake off the fabric. Their function is to:

  • Adhere Pigments: They act as the glue that holds the pigment particles onto the textile surface.
  • Form a Protective Film: This film shields the pigment from abrasion and washing, ensuring the longevity of the print.
  • Influence Hand Feel: The type of binder significantly impacts how the printed fabric feels – whether it's soft, stiff, or has a unique texture.
  • Enable Specific Effects: Certain binders are designed for special effects like discharge printing, puff printing, or metallic finishes.

Our range includes versatile synthetic discharge printing binders, which are essential for achieving crisp, vibrant prints on dark fabrics by enabling the removal of underlying dyes.

Key Characteristics of Quality Synthetic Binders:

When looking to buy synthetic binders, it’s important to consider:

  • Fastness: Excellent resistance to washing, rubbing (dry and wet), and light is paramount.
  • Flexibility: The dried film should be flexible enough to move with the fabric without cracking.
  • Clarity: For most applications, a clear binder allows the true pigment colors to shine through.
  • Stability: The binder should maintain its properties within the printing paste formulation and during storage.
  • Environmental Profile: Increasingly, binders with low VOC content and free from hazardous substances like formaldehyde are preferred.

Choosing the Right Binder for Your Needs

The selection of a synthetic binder depends heavily on the printing application. For instance, discharge printing requires binders that are compatible with discharge agents and can create a soft, breathable print. Our synthetic discharge printing binder is engineered for such applications, providing excellent performance and a desirable soft hand feel.
