Revolutionizing Textile Aesthetics: The Art of Burn-out Printing

Textile burn-out printing, also known as devoré, is an innovative technique that creates captivating translucent and opaque patterns on blended fabrics. This specialized process selectively removes cellulosic fibers, such as cotton, from a blend containing synthetic fibers like polyester, resulting in distinctive designs with varying degrees of transparency and texture. Achieving impeccable results in burn-out printing demands high-quality, reliable textile auxiliaries that facilitate precise fiber degradation while preserving the integrity and color of the remaining synthetic components. Our cutting-edge solutions are engineered to empower textile manufacturers to unlock new creative possibilities and deliver superior fabric quality.

Key Components for Superior Burn-out Performance

Our comprehensive system for textile burn-out printing comprises three integral components, each meticulously developed to ensure optimal performance and ease of use. The foundation of this system is MF-65, a robust strong acid-resistant paste. Designed for excellent penetration uniformity and low foaming, MF-65 simplifies the de-starching process, ensuring a smooth and consistent application. For added convenience and extended shelf life, MF-65 can also be prepared on-site from a paste powder by simply dispersing it in water.

Complementing MF-65 is MF-20, our highly effective burnt-out powder. This powder is ideally suited for a variety of blended fabrics, including cotton, TC (polyester-cotton), and TR (polyester-rayon). During the baking process, MF-20 facilitates the carbonization of cellulosic fibers, which are then easily removed through washing, revealing a clear, transparent effect. MF-20 also offers versatility, making it suitable for unique tie-dyeing and irregular burn-out processes.

Rounding out our core offering is MF-15, the essential anti-scorch agent and burnt-out auxiliary. MF-15 plays a critical role in enhancing the efficiency of carbide removal during washing, preventing undesirable scorching or blackening of the fabric. Its precise dosage is crucial for controlling the baking effect; insufficient MF-15 can lead to blackening and difficult cleaning, while excessive amounts may inhibit the burn-out process, requiring higher temperatures and longer times for effective results.

Unmatched Advantages for Textile Manufacturers

Utilizing our specialized burn-out auxiliaries offers several distinct advantages. Our formulations are designed for easy preparation and application, streamlining your printing operations. Fabrics treated with our auxiliaries are remarkably easy to wash after baking, ensuring efficient post-processing. Crucially, our products are engineered to not damage polyester fibers and to preserve the original color of polyester, maintaining fabric quality and aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, by incorporating acid-resistant disperse dyes, our system allows for the creation of stunning color burn-out effects, opening up a wider spectrum of design possibilities.

Optimizing the Burn-out Process for Flawless Results

The success of burn-out printing hinges on two critical factors: penetration and heat treatment. Achieving optimal penetration is key, often addressed by proper paste dilution and machine operation. Heat treatment, on the other hand, is meticulously controlled by temperature, time, and the precise dosage of auxiliaries. Maintaining temperature stability is paramount, as significant fluctuations can compromise the outcome. The consistency of the burnt-out paste, primarily determined by the dosage of MF-65, influences pattern clarity; too thick may impede permeability, while too thin can lead to pattern diffusion. Similarly, the dosage of MF-20, the burnt-out powder, directly impacts the effectiveness of the carbonization, requiring careful adjustment to prevent incomplete burn-out or excessive acidity that could cause fabric blackening.

Addressing common challenges is integral to achieving perfect burn-out prints. For issues like incomplete penetration (where the back of the fabric is less clear), solutions involve paste dilution, increased squeegee pressure, and pre-treatment for hydrophilic properties. If the fabric blackens after baking, it typically indicates over-heat treatment. Remedies include lowering temperature (not below 120ºC), accelerating processing speed, or slightly increasing the dosage of MF-15 to inhibit over-burning. Conversely, if no pattern appears after baking and washing, it could be due to unsuitable fabric composition, incomplete heat treatment, or excessive auxiliary dosage inhibiting the reaction. In such cases, increasing temperature, prolonging time, or reducing auxiliary dosage may be necessary. Spotting issues can often be traced back to air bubbles in the paste or fabric imperfections, emphasizing the need for proper paste preparation and even pressure during printing.
