PRODUCT LITERATURE


SARASOL-CL


Product Information


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.

Note :


  1. Sarasol-CL can be applied by coating with 50% diluted product.

  2. Concentration of Sarakol-NF to be added depending on GSM of fabric. For lower GSM fabric, lesser quantity of Sarakol-NF is required compared to higher GSM fabric.

  3. Precautions

    Storage Store in cool, ventilated shed away from heat and direct sunlight.Storage temperature should not exceed 35 deg C.Close lids firmly to avoid contact with air and moisture.
    Shelf Life 8 months from the date of manufacturing, if stored under controlled conditions.
