    NAME : INDRANI MONDAL

    ROLL NO : 11101420021
    YEAR : 3rd year
    SUBJECT : TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY
    TOPIC : PRINTING AXILLARIES
    Printing is localized dyeing. Printing is the most important of all the processes used at
    present to decorate textile materials.
     The main idea of printing is the deliberate and controlled application of dye to exactly

    defined locations on the fabric leaving the rest of the fabric essentially unaffected.,
      The following auxiliaries are used in printing:-

    a)      Wetting agent
    b)      Dispersing agents or solvents
    c)      Antifoaming agent
    d)     Hygroscopic agent
    e)      Oxidizing and reducing agent
    f)       Carriers
    g)      Binders
    h)      After washing agents
    i)        Miscellaneous auxiliaries
    j)        Thickeners
    Thickening Agents
      In the printing of reactive dyes the choice of a thickener is very important.

      Thickeners based on starches cannot be used as reactive dyes react with these thickeners.

      Sodium alginate has proved to be the most suitable.

      Sometimes emulsion thickeners are also used either alone or in combination with sodium

    alginate.
    Pigment Printing Binders
    The binders used in pigment printing are polymers that form clear, colorless ,and relatively soft
    films, and have very little effect on color shades and handle. The binder film should coat the
    pigment and provide physical adhesion to the substrate, and so protect the printed pigments
    from mechanical abrasion (rubbing fastness, washing fastness, etc.). The thickness of the films
     Fixing Agents
    The level of the wet fastnesses (wet rubbing,home laundry, etc.) achievable simply by the use of a
    binder is often inadequate for many purposes, especially on smooth fibers such as polyester.A
    significant improvement in fastness is obtained by the use of an additional fixing
    agent that strengthens the three-dimensional network of the binder film [6]. However, this
    has a certain disadvantageous effect on the hand.
    Emulsifiers
    In high- and low-solvent pigment printing, the emulsifier stabilizes the solvent as an oil-in-water (o/w)
    emulsion, which functions as a thickened paste with the appropriate rheology. Water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions
    are now-adays very seldom used. In solvent-free pigment printing, the main tasks of the emulsifier are to
    prevent agglomeration of the pigment, screen blocking, and separation of components of the print paste. At
    the same time, the fastness properties and the surface printing must not be affect-ed, as sometimes
    happens with simple wetting agent. Example is : Kerosene
    Antifoaming Agents
    In the case of roller printing, wetting agents are used in the printing paste & simultaneously continuous
    agitation of the paste is also taking place in the colour box in which printing paste is kept.
     Thus a considerable amount of foam is produce in the colour box.

      Due to this overflowing of the colour takes place, which then falls on the other box.

    Hygroscopic Agent
    The function of hygroscopic agents used in the printing paste is to take up sufficient amounts of
      

    water during steaming to give mobility to dye molecules, to enable them to transfer to the fibre.
    Glycerine, diethylene glycol and urea are generally used as hygroscopic agents in printing.
      

    Oxidizing agents are added during the preparation of printing paste but it should be effective on
    colour only during steaming. Reducing agents are used mainly for printing of vat colours, sulphur
    colours, etc. & for production of reducing discharge effect on the goods dye with direct, vat,
    indigosol etc. & also for producing resist style in the application of insoluble azoic colours.
