Textile printing is an intricate process where the quality of auxiliary chemicals significantly impacts the final product. Among these, thickeners play a pivotal role, controlling the rheology of the printing paste to ensure precise pattern definition, optimal color transfer, and vibrant hues. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a leading provider of textile auxiliaries, including high-performance thickeners specifically designed for pigment printing applications. Our High Concentration Pigment Printing Thickener is an innovative liquid acrylate polymer engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern textile manufacturing, offering exceptional performance and environmental responsibility.

The challenges in pigment printing often revolve around achieving paste stability, preventing migration, and ensuring high color yield without compromising the soft feel of the fabric. Traditional thickeners may struggle with these issues, leading to blurry prints, reduced color brilliance, and inconsistent results. Our High Concentration Pigment Printing Thickener addresses these challenges head-on. As a liquid formulation, it offers convenience in handling and dispersion compared to powder alternatives, allowing for easier and more efficient paste preparation. The high concentration ensures that smaller quantities are needed to achieve the desired viscosity, contributing to cost-effectiveness and reduced transportation burden.

Key features and typical benefits of our High Concentration Pigment Printing Thickener include its excellent thickening ability and high paste forming rate. This means formulators can quickly achieve a smooth, homogenous printing paste with controlled viscosity, essential for successful screen printing, whether rotary or flatbed. The thickener exhibits good water holding ability, which is crucial for maintaining paste consistency during the printing run and preventing premature drying on the screen, leading to clear outlines and preventing bleeding or smudging of the print.

Furthermore, the use of our thickener contributes directly to the visual appeal of the printed textile. It promotes high pigment yield, allowing for efficient use of colorants and resulting in prints with brilliant color intensity and depth. Compatibility is another significant advantage; the thickener is compatible with printing paste and binder systems commonly used in pigment printing, allowing for seamless integration into existing formulations without adverse reactions. Its good resistance to electrolyte ensures stability even when used with pigments or binders that may contain ionic substances.

Maintaining paste quality over time is vital for operational efficiency. Our High Concentration Pigment Printing Thickener offers good paste stability, resisting viscosity changes and separation during storage. This stability also ensures the paste can be easily transferred through the printing screen without clogging, reducing downtime and waste. An important consideration in today's market is environmental safety. Our thickener is formulated to be formaldehyde and APEO free, making it an environmental protection product that helps textile manufacturers meet stringent ecological standards and certifications such as OEKO-TEX and GOTS.

The application process is straightforward. Our High Concentration Pigment Printing Thickener can be effectively used as a thickener for both water-based and paste-based systems in the textile printing process. A typical pigment printing recipe would involve the thickener, pigment, binder, and water or other necessary chemicals. The process flow generally includes paste preparation, followed by rotary or flat screen printing, drying, and finally curing at temperatures typically between 150-160°C for 1.5-3 minutes, though specific conditions should always be optimized through preliminary trials based on the equipment and substrate.

Proper handling and storage are essential to maintain product quality and ensure safe use. We suggest weighing and diluting the thickener separately when preparing the paste, then adding it to the main mix and stirring fully. Using soft water for dilution is strongly recommended to avoid potential stability issues; if soft water is unavailable, testing the stability with the available water source before preparing large batches is crucial. Once diluted, the paste should ideally be used promptly and not stored for prolonged periods. For safety, users should always review the Material Safety Data Sheets before handling this product under any specific conditions.

Our High Concentration Pigment Printing Thickener is supplied as a liquid with a typical appearance of a milky white viscous liquid. Its ionic character is anionic. Key properties include a flash point above 100°C and a density at 25°C ranging from 1.05 to 1.15 g/cm³. The white pulp viscosity (measured at 1.5% concentration) typically falls within the range of 30,000-40,000 mPa.s, demonstrating its efficient thickening power at low concentrations. The standard packaging is in plastic drums, typically 120 kg or 1000 kg net, designed for safe transport and storage.

For storage, the product should be kept under room temperature and hermetic conditions, away from direct sunlight, to ensure optimal quality. Under these conditions, it can be stored for approximately 6 months. It is important to check the period of validity and use the product before it expires. Containers should be tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination or drying. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold should be avoided as this may lead to product separation; if separation occurs, stirring the contents should restore its consistency. If the product freezes, it should be thawed under warm conditions and stirred thoroughly after thawing.
