CELLBIND-FF | Formaldehyde free soft Pigment printing binder

General Characteristics  

Physical appearance	Off white liquid
Ionic nature	Anionic
pH of 1% solution	8 +/- 1
Miscibility	Miscible with water
Compatibility	Compatible with anionic and nonionic products
Stability	Stable to dilute acids and dilute alkalies

* For pigment printing, it is very essential that the fabric should be acidic around pH 5.5 to 6.

* To get good sharp print, the fabric should be free of salts before printing.  

Paste preparation

Take recommended quantity of Cellbind-FF. Add 20% water and pigment emulsion as per shade depth. Then add Urea with stirring. Then add slowly half the quantity of synthetic thickener so that paste becomes thick. Add liquor ammonia and fixer. Then add balance water with stirring. Finally add balance synthetic thickener till required viscosity is achieved. Stir it further 10 mins. to built viscosity and smoothness. 

RECIPE FOR PIGMENT PRINTING  

For 100% Cotton (Woven or Knits)

Pigment emulsion	upto 1%	above 1% upto 4%	above 4%
Cellbind-FF	8%	12%	3 times the pigment
Synthick P-328	1.5%	2%	2 to 2.5%
Urea	5%	5%	5%
Saraprint-AC	-	2%	2%
Liquor ammonia	-	1%	2%
Water	balance	balance	balance

Process :-

Print --> Dry in the drier at temp. above 130 deg.C --> Cure at 150 deg.C for 5 mins.
