Sarasol-CL is a high viscosity thickening agent which is applied in pre-treatment process of Ink-Jet printing. Sarasol-CL gives sharp and even prints with improved colour values eSpecially on cellulosic substrates. It also delivers even and sharp prints on the substrates printed with disperse and acid dyes. Sarasol-CL does not affect the original hand of fabric. The quality of final print obtained with Sarasol-CL is much better than that obtained with conventional thickeners.
