SUGGESTED
PROCEDURE FOR USING TEX THICKENER
|
| PIGMENT
PRINTING (for Partial Replacement of Kerosene / MTO) |
TEX THICKENER replaces nearly 30-50% pf kerosene of mineral
turpentine from the emulsion thickening used for the printing
of pigment or reactive colours without affecting the fastness
or brightness of the print. Further, there is also a reduction
in the quantity to the gum, CMC etc. used conventionally.
A general formulae is given as a guideline for using TEX
THICKENER in pigment printing of textiles for achieving
kerosene replacement. |
