sodium alginate textile grade for printing and dyeing |
Message : |
The fact that sodium alginate has an impressive thickening ability makes it a great compound for dyeing as well as textile and printing. Such markets use it because it is so easy to handle and in return gives finished products great results. For example, it offers fabric a slinky appearance and makes the dye in it hold on longer. This means that with sodium alginate colors in fabrics do not fade easily.
Sodium alginate, when used for printing, can alter the dyeing reaction in a good way. It can actually make the fabric smooth with brighter colors. The great thing about this compound is that it is suitable with diverse textiles including synthetic fiber, silk, cotton, and wool. In a more chemical explanation, sodium alginate cannot react with a textile¡¯s active coloring thus it cannot produce a covalent bond. Its low and moderate viscosity makes it ideal for manual and screen type printing.
This light yellow or colorless crystalline and powdery compound does offer a huge impact in the printing and textile industry. The textile industry is the biggest user of sodium alginate. Without it, fabrics would not be as colorful as it is and prints would easily fade. Fabrics would also break easily since there is nothing special that can help in the binding of its strands. Additionally, it is used as an ink thickener for printing.
Alginate is truly a useful piece of nature that has helped change the quality of fabrics and prints!
