CMC Thickener: The New Standard in Reactive Textile Printing Over Sodium Alginate
Product Description:
Reactive Printing Thickener
Reactive Printing Thickener is a chemical additive formulated specially for the textile industry during the reactive dye printing process. It increases the viscosity and rheological qualities of printing pastes, ensuring that they can be precisely and effectively used on different fabrics.
This product brings many advantages. To begin with, its viscosity control feature along with its stability during the printing course leads to sharper and more defined prints. Additionally, this thickener stabilizes the dye in the fixation stage and therefore generates more vivid colors with higher accuracy. Besides, it offers better wash fastness and colorfastness than most standard thickeners.
Features:
Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose aqueous solution offers many practical advantages in the weaving process. It is clear, transparent, homogeneous, and stable; its viscosity stays consistent regardless of mechanical force, enabling it to be stored in size tanks unaffected by temperature or bacteria. This makes it easily accessible for production needs.
The solution is also full of viscidity and film-forming properties. When applied to warp, it forms a smooth, wear-resistant, and flexible film, capable of bearing mechanical stresses and friction. This makes weaving more precise and efficient.
Additionally, the yarns become easily dry and glossy with a soft hand feel. Desizing of yarns is also rendered simple without chemical treatment or consumption of desizing agents.
Moreover, the yarns or fabric processed with the aqueous solution won't get yellowing, mildewed, or damaged by worms or rats. This greatly reduces the chances of receiving substandard, defective products.
In comparison, using starch as size requires complex machinery and control instruments. However, using cellulose gum is much simpler and its use increases the sanitary condition of the workshop as well as the production capacity of weaving machines.

Powder or granular available, we recomed customer to purchase the brown granle type CMC to sell as sodium alginate for higher profit.
Technique Process
▲Dissolve the dyes and add into the paste, make the color paste with thickener→▲Printing→▲Drying (100 ℃)→▲Baking or steaming→▲Washing→▲Soaping→▲Rinsing→▲Post treatment procedure.
Dissolution Methods and Proportion:
How to make the paste?
1. The ratio depends on DS level, low DS product should mix with pure sodium alginate to reach a better performance, while ultra high DS product can 100% replace SA.
2. Proportion: same as sodium alginate original paste preparing. Firstly add 65% water, stir the water while adding the product evenly and slowly, then speed up the stirrer for 20-25 minutes. And then add the remaining 35% water, stir for another 20-30 minutes. Leave for 15 minutes.
How to make sure the paste dissove completely?
1. Powder and water completely fuse, not exist solid-liquid separation phenomenon.
2. Paste is dissolved evenly, the surface is smooth, no granular objects.
Applications:
Reactive Printing Thickener: A Necessity in Textile Printing & Fabric Decoration
Reactive Printing Thickener is essential for textile printing and fabric decoration, especially when it comes to reactive dye-based printing methods. It increases the viscosity and rheological properties of the printing paste, allowing for precise and controlled application of dyes onto fabrics. This is what gives fabrics the vibrant and intricate patterns that are so desirable in today's fashion.
In addition, the thickener enhances the color fastness and resistance to fading, allowing for excellent dye performance on a variety of fabric types, including cotton, rayon, silk, and blends. It is also used in the production of printed textiles for apparel manufacturing, enabling the creation of unique and visually appealing designs on garments like t-shirts, dresses, and scarves.
Reactive Printing Thickener is a crucial component that helps achieve excellent printing results, ensuring sharp and well-defined printed designs with uniform quality and aesthetic appeal.
