VARIOUS 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.
COMPOUND SR
Auxiliary product for pigment textile printing, easily dispersible in water, in all proportions, developed to improve the printability of the pastes and the final fastness of the print. It is recommended for preparing printing pastes, both in a totally aqueous environment and in semi-emulsion with white spirit. The product is characterized by its ease of dissolution in the printing paste.
DETERGENT BS
Solvent-based auxiliary, not very aggressive, formulated for the easy removal of printing paste residues from accessories normally used in production, without the formation of foam. It is recommended to apply it by immersion, using a mechanical action in case of stubborn dirt. After washing it is recommended to rinse thoroughly with water. The product contains a special mixture of solvents which makes it non-flammable and low volatile.
DEVOPRINT B
Auxiliary used as acidity generator in devoré printing. Its particular chemical characteristics allow to obtain an excellent destruction of the cellulosic fibres, allowing eliminated in the washing phase.
DISPERSANT P
Dispersing additive that prevents pigments from agglomerating and keeps them in a stable and very fine suspension throughout the printing process. It can also be used in modern automatic colour kitchens, it prevents pigment deposits and encrustations, which are no longer dispersible. The product also stabilizes the printing pastes, facilitating the cleaning of the cylinders and preventing the formation of colour films inside them.
DISPERSION AQUAGEL HV
