Abstract

Thickeners have been used as a significant component in textile printing pastes. They are characterized with high molecular weight, high viscosity in an aqueous medium, good storage, long hydration time consistent with other printing paste components and being colorless. They impart plasticity and stickiness to the print paste with the ability to introduce designs without bleeding. The major function of printing pastes is to hold, adhere and transfer the dyestuff onto the targeted fabric. There have been various well known synthetic and natural thickeners.
