These additives, called thickeners, are basically rheological additives used in paint systems and are the main ones of materials often used. If thickeners, additives are added to a system, the water-based system will not only have a thickening effect, but will also have significant effects on improving the mechanical properties and physicochemical stability of the system.
Especially in the textile industry, printing occupies an important place. The quality of printing is determined by the application of printing and the chemicals used in printing. It is formed of one or more of a pigment or paint printing paste, an aqueous carrier, a polymer rheology and viscosity controlling thickener of printing pastes and various other components (usually ammonia or other alkaline agents and binders).
Thickening agents, along with their excellent spreading properties, are increasingly being used in industry with a thickening effect, which positively affects the frequency of preference with this expansion.
Why Are Thickeners Preferred?
The reasons for choosing thickeners are quite diverse. Because, with the increase in the rate of spread and use of thickeners, it is observed that they acquire different meanings and obtain different reasons for preference, it is known that they are in the process of acquiring a multifaceted place in the sector and in the market. Because the areas of use of thickeners are experiencing a great increase every day, they have more areas of use, their name is more used and they are adding a great development in the industry and industry.
Therefore, the general reasons for choosing thickeners are very diverse. However, if it is necessary to briefly summarize, it can basically be summarized as follows. Here are the reasons; it has a better spreading property than other thickeners, and higher levels of gloss can become achievable with it. Other advantages are high water and scrub resistance and high resistance to bacteria. In addition, storage stability can be significantly improved if a successful combination with cellulosic thickeners is used.
