Comparison between Pigment Printing Systems with Acrylate and Butadiene Based Binders

Abstract

Pigment printing was carried out on lab scale by simple screen-printing techniques. By the application of acrylate and butadiene based binder, the crocking fastness, formaldehyde release and PVC migration of fabric printed with Imparon red KB pigment was evaluated. The effect of curing time on K/S values was also investigated. It has been found that butadiene based binder shows good performance in terms of crocking fastness, formaldehyde release and PVC migra-tion. It has also been observed that by increasing the binder concentration, the release of formaldehyde decreased and by increasing the curing time, the K/S values of printed fabric were decreased

The effect of ultraviolet‐curable water‐borne polyurethane acrylate binder concentration on the printing performance of synthetic leather

“…It is also important that the pigment is homogeneously distributed in the colour matrix and adheres to the fabric. Factors that affect wet crock fastness are related to the water resistance of the binder .…”

“…The application of pigment printing is reported to have escalated in the last 50 years . This increase is because of its versatility, applicability to almost any fibre or blend, and wash‐off‐free property after the fixation stage.…”

“…Coloration is a complicated but critical step in the development of a printing formulation that will meet specific needs. In terms of various end‐use applications of the desired fabric properties, a different binder polymer may be required to achieve the desired results .…”

Recent Use of Synthetic Thickeners in Textile Printing Process (A Mini-Review)

“…The paste gave a well-colored saturated clean print with a uniformly dyed nap and increased dye fixation. [8] (Methacrylic acid -divinyl benzene-N-rnethylol acrylamide) polymers have also been successfully used with dyes and pigments for partial replacement of kerosene. When used with C.I.…”

“…Acrysol has been reported to be highly resistant to electrolytes. Alcoprint is a modified polyacrylic thickener that overcomes most of the problems associated with the gelling of black pigment [8]. Figure 1 illustrate the chemical structure of some Acrylic copolymer…”
