Product Description

Sodium alginate has already been used in warp sizing, trimming paste and printing paste for a long time in history while mainly in the printing paste. It has specific function when used as active paste and color paste. Fibre has chemical reactions with active dyestuff to fix it onto the fibre. In dyeing process, the printing paste used should not disturb or join in the chemical reactive linkage otherwise it will be fixed onto the fibre, which makes the dyed fibre feel stiff and fragile and the color is not good. While when sodium alginate acts as the printing paste, it will not affect the dyeing process of active dyestuff and fibre nor produce the defects listed above. Thus it is not only fit for chandar ink but also applying to wool, silk and synthetic fibre's printings.
