FIELD / USAGE PURPOSE : Textile Printing Process / Acrylic Polymers in primary forms
PROPERTIES :
• REPRINT RBW gives excellent softness, non-stick, durable and washable
• Environment-friendly.
• Good coverage, anti-freeze, high-grade printing and production with high colour yield.
• Widely used on General Knitted and Woven Fabrics: (Mercerized) Cotton, T/C, CVC, T/R, Polyester, Acrylic, etc. It is water-based environmental printing binder system free of formaldehyde, PVC, phthalate and heavy metals.
• REPRINT RBW water base printing ink has no solvent, which meets with the EU, USA, Japan requirements about the children's clothing.
• May be printed directly as clear and may also be combined and coloured by pigments for an unlimited colour options. If cured correctly as advised, the dry-wet rubbing and washing fastness are high.
• Rubbing and washing tests should be applied 24 hours after curing.
APPLICATION & DOSAGE :
• We recommend to stir up REPRINT RBW before use. If it stored for a long time, viscosity can be increased. This can be corrected by effective stirring and maybe little (5%) soft binder addition
• Dry it completely before the washing test or else it will affect the testing result.
Printing Process:
• Application by means of all common screen printing methods with monofilament PES screen gauzes of 34 - 90 S/T, preferably 43 - 62 S/T, depending on design and quality of goods.
• Recommended conditions for drying and fixation.
Drying:
• Curing between 2-4 min. 150 - 170 °C
• When fixing with IR radiators or other sources of energy it is essential to run a meaningful trial before going into production.
