NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is pleased to highlight the availability of its high-performance chemical solution for the textile industry: KR-722 Pigment Printing Thickener. This product is designed to significantly enhance the quality and efficiency of pigment printing on a wide variety of fabrics, meeting the growing demand for reliable and environmentally conscious textile auxiliaries.

Pigment printing is a popular method for coloring textiles due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness. The success of this technique heavily relies on the performance of the printing paste, where the thickener plays a crucial role. A high-quality thickener ensures proper rheology, allowing for sharp outlines, vibrant colors, and consistent application. KR-722 is formulated as a light yellow to milky white viscous emulsion, an acrylic multicomponent copolymer specifically engineered to deliver exceptional results in this demanding application.

One of the standout features of KR-722 is its high viscosity and strong thickening effect. This property is essential for preventing bleeding and ensuring that the pigment paste remains precisely where it is applied, resulting in clear, well-defined patterns and images. Despite its high viscosity, KR-722 also exhibits excellent flowability, which is vital for smooth operation in both rotary and flat screen printing processes. This balance between viscosity and flowability contributes to reduced production issues and improved printing efficiency.

Furthermore, KR-722 is characterized by its robust resistance to electrolytes and outstanding anti-salt properties. Textile printing pastes often contain various salts or electrolytes from pigments, binders, or water sources. These can negatively impact the stability and thickening performance of conventional thickeners, leading to unpredictable results. KR-722's formulation is specifically designed to withstand these challenges, maintaining stable viscosity and performance even in the presence of electrolytes, ensuring consistent color yield and print quality.

The thickener also demonstrates superior hydration performance, easily dissolving in water to form a stable, uniform emulsion. This ease of preparation saves time and ensures homogeneity of the printing paste. The recommended dosage range for KR-722 is typically between 1.2% and 1.6%, depending on the specific fabric type, printing method, and desired viscosity. This relatively low dosage requirement makes KR-722 a cost-effective choice for textile manufacturers without compromising on performance.

From an environmental and safety perspective, KR-722 aligns with global standards. It is explicitly stated to be free from APEO (Alkylphenol Ethoxylates) and formaldehyde. This is a significant advantage for textile producers seeking to minimize the environmental impact of their operations and ensure the safety of their workers and end consumers. Using APEO and formaldehyde-free auxiliaries contributes to producing textiles that meet stringent eco-labels and regulatory requirements worldwide.

The performance benefits of using KR-722 extend to the visual outcome of the print. Users can expect high color yield with sharp definition and excellent color value. This means that pigments appear more vibrant and true to their intended shade, and fine details in the print design are rendered clearly and accurately. The thickener's ability to hold the pigment in place and facilitate optimal transfer contributes directly to the aesthetic quality of the finished textile product.

Technical specifications for KR-722 include an anionic ionicity and a pH value of 6.0 to 7.0 for a 1% solution, indicating its suitability for a wide range of pigment types and printing formulations. Its appearance as a light yellow to milky white viscous emulsion is consistent with a high-quality liquid thickener.

For optimal results, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. recommends dissolving KR-722 in soft water first to form a thick emulsion before integrating the binder and pigment paste. Thorough stirring ensures an evenly combined mixture ready for printing.

Storage recommendations involve keeping the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Under these conditions, KR-722 has a shelf life of 12 months. It is typically supplied in 50KG, 125KG, or 150KG plastic drums, with packaging options customizable based on customer requirements, demonstrating NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD.'s flexibility in meeting client needs.

In conclusion, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD.'s KR-722 Pigment Printing Thickener offers a compelling combination of high performance, environmental responsibility, and cost-effectiveness. Its technical properties, including high viscosity, salt resistance, excellent flowability, and superior color yield, make it an ideal choice for textile manufacturers aiming to achieve high-quality pigment prints on all types of fabrics.
