  • High quality textile reactive printing using guar gum and biodegradable additives [Elektronski vir]
    Schneider, Reinhold ; Šostar-Turk, Sonja
    A new reactive printing process for reactive dyes on cellulosic textiles has been developed using natural thickening agents and environment-friendly additivies. The rheological properties of ... polysaccharide thickeners (sodium alginates, non-substituted and substitued guar gums) and non-ionic surfactants with different concentrations have been studied under linear and non-linear shear conditions. These additives have no significant influence on rheology and colour strenght, but contributed to soft fabric handle, which was confirmed by Size Exclusion Chromatography - SEC. Printing trials with guar gums have shown that the use of different additives can prevent fabric stiffness and provide good quality prints with reduced wastewater pollution.
