AUXILIARIES
CATALYST AT5
Polyfunctional catalyst based on aziridine suitable for pigment printing with pastes containing acrylic and / or polyurethane resins, recommended for printing synthetic fibres and PVC.
CROSSLINKER M
Polymerization accelerator for printing pastes containing binders, used to reduce times and / or temperature during the polymerization process of pigment prints. The product is compatible with all alkaline systems of pigment printing pastes, while its use in an acidic environment, such as in discharge printing, should be avoided.
FINISH S
Printing auxiliary designed to improve the characteristics of pigment prints, increasing their fastness to dry rubbing and giving the fabrics a soft, pleasant and smooth hand. It also improves printability by acting favourably on the sliding and stability properties of the printing pastes.
HYDROPHIL M
Auxiliary with high wetting action, suitable for double-sided prints and where a strong penetration of the printing paste into the fabric is desired. It is often used in conjunction with the EMULSIFIER DF.
MINERPRINT® FIXATOR NFO
Crosslinker for pigment printing, suitable for obtaining prints without formaldehyde release, but with a fastness equal to that obtained with traditional melamine-based fixers. The product improves the fastness to dry and wet rubbing and the fastness to washing. It is effective in printing both elastic and non-elastic fabrics, in particular on synthetic and cellulosic fabrics.
SUBLIPRIMER L LIQ
Ready-to-use product for the treatment of fabrics, preliminary to the sublimation transfer process. The transfer of the sublimation dye from the paper to the cellulosic fibre will take place in all areas of the fabric treated with the product. The final coat is slightly stiff, therefore it is recommended to apply it to fabrics of a certain weight, such as denim.
