Textile Printing Thickener is a highly specialized product used in the textile industry. It is employed to increase both the viscosity and the thickness of printing pastes and inks.
The primary function of this product is to regulate how fluidly the medium, such as a printing paste, spreads over the fabric. By doing so, the clarity and quality of the prints are vastly improved.
High color yield (10%-20% higher than sodium alginate), which can directly reduce dye consumption costs. The cost-effectiveness advantage of this high color yield is obvious. Using this product compared to sodium alginate can directly reduce use costs and improve total economic benefits.
Good chemical stability, good compatibility with printing and dyeing auxiliaries and dyes, not easy to spoil during storage, no need to add preservatives. Compared to sodium alginate, the chemical stability of this product is much better, especially in the summer.
Good water retention and high structural viscosity. It has good shear thinning performance under the action of shear stress, excellent screen penetration performance, uniform printing block surface, high outline definition, and smooth lines.
It has good solubility and can be quickly dissolved in cold water under stirring conditions, no gum clump, saving beating time.
It also has easy wash off capabilities and a good hand feeling. All these features make it an excellent choice for printing and dyeing applications.

Powder or granular available, we recomed customer to purchase the brown granle type CMC to sell as sodium alginate for higher profit.
Uses of Textile Printing Thickener
Textile Printing Thickener is a versatile material that can be used in a variety of ways to achieve different effects on textiles. It helps when printing with pigments, reactive dyes, discharge agents, resist agents, and adhesives.
For pigments, the thickener helps thicken the pigment paste and prevents it from bleeding or spreading abnormally, leading to sharp and well-defined prints. When printing with reactive dyes, the thickener is used to thicken the dye solution, allowing for better control over the dye penetration and fixation onto the fabric. Similarly, for discharge printing, it is used to thicken the discharge paste to control the removal process, resulting in precise patterns or motifs. For resist printing, the thickener is employed to thicken the resist paste, enabling precise application and preventing it from spreading beyond the desired boundaries. Lastly, when achieved when flock printing, the thickener is used to thicken the adhesive paste, ensuring the flock fibers have proper adhesion and durability.
