General Description
Reactive Dyes Printing Thickener is a type of thickening agent used in the textile industry for printing with reactive dyes.
Reactive dyes are a type of dye that chemically reacts with the fibers of the fabric, resulting in a permanent bond. This
type of dye is commonly used for printing on natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and silk.
The reactive dyes Printing Thickener is used to increase the viscosity of the printing paste, allowing for better control of
the dye application and preventing bleeding or spreading of the dye on the fabric. It also helps to improve the sharpness
and definition of the printed design.
Some common applications of reactive dyes printing thickener include:
1. Textile printing: Reactive dyes printing thickener is widely used in textile printing processes to create intricate and vibrant
designs on fabrics. It helps to ensure that the dyes are evenly distributed and adhere to the fabric fibers, resulting in long-lasting
and colorfast prints.
2. Screen printing: Reactive dyes printing thickener is commonly used in screen printing, which is a popular method for printing on textiles. The thickener helps to prevent the dyes from seeping through the screen and spreading on the fabric, resulting in clean
and crisp prints.
3. Block printing: Reactive dyes printing thickener is also used in block printing, a traditional method of printing where a carved
block is used to apply the dye onto the fabric. The thickener helps to control the flow of the dye and prevent it from spreading
outside the desired design area.
4. Digital printing: Reactive dyes printing thickener is used in digital printing processes, where designs are printed directly onto
the fabric using specialized printers. The thickener helps to ensure that the dyes are properly absorbed by the fabric and do not
bleed or spread during the printing process.
Overall, reactive dyes printing thickener plays a crucial role in achieving high-quality and durable prints with reactive dyes. It
helps to improve the printing process by increasing the viscosity of the dye paste, resulting in better control and definition of the
printed design.

Notes
The product is environmental friendly product, and is not subject to IATA DGR. Please follow the
general rules and regulations for common chemicals during transportation and storage.
When the temperature getting cold, thickener would become thicker, but would not affect printing
performance.
