Conventional Printing

SNF offers a wide range of synthetic thickeners designed specifically for Pigment, Reactive, Disperse, and Acid printing that are available in liquid polymer emulsion and powder forms.

These thickeners allow better control of printing paste rheology to perform the best printing techniques with higher definition, higher color yield, better washability, and handling.

PIGMENT PRINTING THICKENERS

SNF has developed a range of thickeners suitable for pigment printing applications.  These thickeners are available in acid form but are also available in a neutralized form to eliminate the ammonia addition in the textile mills to ease the printing paste preparation. The ammonia is directly incorporated into the thickener in neutralized form.

FLOPRINT™ TA

A full range of thickeners suitable for printing on all fibres with excellent printing performance: high color yield, stability to electrolytes, excellent definition, and handling.

REACTIVE PRINTING THICKENERS

Reactive dyes constitute the most used class of dyes for dyeing and printing cellulosic textile fabrics.  These dyes chemically react with cellulose to form a covalent bond between the dye molecules and cellulose (On cotton or viscose rayon fabrics).

To achieve the best printing performance, SNF has developed an effective range of synthetic thickeners designed to achieve the best washability and handling, higher color yield, and evenness desired by printing mills.

FLOPRINT™ R 

A full range of synthetic thickeners designed for reactive printing that brings excellent washability, higher color yield, and reduced preparation paste time. These products can work alone or are blended with natural gums such as Sodium alginate.

DISPERSE PRINTING THICKENERS

SNF provides a wide range of synthetic polymers to thicken and control the printing paste deposit to achieve the best printing performances with disperse dyes on polyester fabrics.

FLOPRINT™ R

Thickeners for disperse printing that provides excellent washability, higher color yield, and reduced preparation paste time.  These products can work alone or are blended with natural gums such as Tamarind.

FLOPRINT™ PSD

A specific range of synthetic thickeners developed in powder form to use alone or to blend with natural gums (Starch, Tamarind, etc.). to benefit from the advantages of synthetic thickeners such as color yield and shorter paste preparation time and washability of natural gums.
