SCREEN PRINTING
Achitex Minerva Group has drawn on its experience in the textile industry to develop a full range of high-performing, eco-compatible products for screen printing.
Screen printing is a discontinuous printing technique in which a polyester fabric screen is stretched on a metal frame and then photo-engraved to create clearly defined patterns.
The frame is placed on top of the fabric for printing and a special rubber trowel (squeegee) is then pressed down on it to force the ink through the screen onto the fabric underneath, precisely reproducing the pattern created by the photo-engraving process.
The R&D laboratories have developed products with excellent technical performances that respond to the demands of end users and the customer global fashion brands.
Customer-focus is reflected in quality: the laboratories are at customers’ service to resolve any issues and for the creation of new, leading-edge formulations.
Achitex Minerva screen-printing range includes the following special effects and lines:
- Water-based: white, clear and opaque products, lacquers, discharge products, sizes for flock and mylar, pastes for metallic and gloss effects, foaming or high-thickness (3D) pastes, etc. They provide an extremely soft handle and comply with the strictest environmental standards.
- Plast: plastisol colours for wet-on-wet printing, plastisols for metallic effects (silver, bronze and pearl), plastisols for four-colour printing, and plastisols for fluorescent shades (free from formaldehyde).
- Minerprint® Pure (PVC-free): PVC-free plastisol-equivalent colours, environment-friendly and extremely stable on screens and over time. An innovative formulation that combines the benefits of Plastisol with the environment-friendly characteristics typical of water-based products.
- Minersil (silicones): eco-friendly products with high elasticity and bonding on synthetic fabrics, suitable above all for sportswear or intimate apparel.
Most Achitex Minerva printing products are on the Inditex list and hold GOTS, bluesign® and ZDHC certification.
The ranges can be modified in response to the demands of the market and our Customers, without any reduction in quality.
