In the dynamic world of textile printing, achieving vibrant colors, sharp designs, and consistent results is paramount. A critical component in this process is the thickener, which controls the viscosity of the printing paste, ensuring it can be applied precisely without spreading or penetrating too deeply into the fabric. High-quality thickeners are essential for producing prints that are both aesthetically pleasing and durable.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is pleased to introduce its advanced Liquid Acrylic Synthetic Thickener designed specifically for textile pigment printing applications. This product represents a significant step forward in textile auxiliary chemistry, offering performance benefits that meet the demanding requirements of modern printing operations.

Our Acrylic Synthetic Thickener is provided in a convenient liquid form, typically presenting as a thick, opaque or slightly yellowish liquid. This physical state facilitates easy handling and dispersion compared to some powder alternatives, simplifying the preparation of printing pastes. It functions as an anionic auxiliary agent, interacting effectively with other components in the printing formulation.

A key advantage of this thickener is its ability to impart excellent rheological properties to the printing paste. Rheology, the study of the flow of matter, is crucial in printing. A paste with good rheology flows smoothly under pressure during application but holds its shape once applied to the fabric. Our thickener ensures that the printing paste exhibits the correct viscosity and pseudoplastic behavior required for high-quality printing across various methods.

The performance benefits are evident in the final printed fabric. Using our Acrylic Synthetic Thickener helps achieve uniform and clear printing results. Designs are rendered with sharp outlines, free from fuzzy edges or blurring. Crucially, it helps prevent seepage, where the printing paste spreads uncontrollably through the fabric fibers, ruining the design definition. This leads to cleaner, more defined prints that meet high aesthetic standards.

Environmental responsibility and safety are increasingly important in the textile industry. Our Liquid Acrylic Synthetic Thickener is formulated to be APEO (Alkylphenol Ethoxylate) free. APEOs have raised environmental and health concerns, making APEO-free alternatives highly desirable. Furthermore, the product is designed to have no significant odor, contributing to a more pleasant working environment. Its environmentally friendly profile aligns with global initiatives towards sustainable textile production.

The technical specifications of our thickener are designed for reliability and performance. It typically has a pH value in the neutral to slightly acidic range, commonly between 6 and 7, which is suitable for many pigment printing systems. The solid content is a significant factor in the efficiency of a thickener, indicating the amount of active material. Our Acrylic Synthetic Thickener boasts a solid content of typically 65% or higher, ensuring potent thickening power.

The method of usage is designed for ease and efficiency. It can be readily incorporated into printing paste formulations. A common approach involves first mixing and stirring the thickener with water to form a uniform white paste base. The pigment paste and binder can then be added to this thickened base and stirred thoroughly to achieve the final printing paste consistency. Alternatively, the liquid thickener can sometimes be added directly to a mixture of binder and pigment paste, followed by stirring for a specified duration, typically a few minutes, to ensure complete dispersion and activation of the thickening effect.

Determining the optimal dosage is crucial for achieving the desired viscosity and print quality. While precise requirements may vary depending on the specific pigments, binders, fabric type, and printing method, preliminary testing is always recommended. Based on general applications and tests, a recommended dosage of this type of thickener is often in the range of 1.6% to 1.7% relative to the total weight of the printing paste (on a 100% basis). This concentration range usually provides the necessary rheology for effective pigment transfer and sharp printing.
