REATHICK-919

REATHICK-919 | Non-alginate synthetic thickener

Product Information

Reathick-919 is a sodium alginate substitute for Reactive printing on cellulosic substrates. Reathick-919 exhibit prints with high brightness, high brilliance and high permeability. Reathick-919 has excellent permeabiity with uniform colour yield. It gives much better and cleaner print than sodium alginate. It is suitable for both, Flat and Rotary screen printing.

Reathick-919 can also be used in pretreatment of digital printing of polyester, polyamide and cotton and viscose. It delivers even print with sharp outlines. Reathick-919 does not affect original feel of fabric and it is easily washable. It can also be used as pretreatment for ink jet printing for polyamide and polyester carpets

Reathick-919 is a non alginate thickener.

- Take the reactive dyes as per recipe.

- Dissolve in water adding Urea and Super R Salt.

- Then slowly add Reathick-919 to get desired viscosity.

- Add sodium bicarbonate just before printing and if required, adjust viscosity with addition of small quantity of Reathick-919.
