Zytrol-600 is a binder recommended to be used in Solvent & Aqueous Pigment Printing. It replaces conventional binders which are designed for  Solvent and Water based pigment printing system. Zytrol-600 improves the colour value in the solvent based printing along with excellent crock and washing fastness.  Zytrol-600 reduces the consumption of water based thickeners such as ZYCOPRINT and it gives excellent soft feel. Zytrol-600 allows the printer to produce very soft pigment printing.

Features	Benefits
Use of state-of-the-art emulsion polymerization technology	Improved Wet Rubbing Fastness
Good wash fastness	Retains original looks and feel even after repeated washings
Excellent re-emulsification	No chocking problem
New speciality chemistry	Improved colour value

Appearance	: Milky White
Solids content	: 41 ± 2%
pH	: 8.5 – 9

Zytrol-600 is like any other binder to handle and normal departmental procedures should be followed. The only care to be taken is to use good quality of water to maximize the benefits of reduction in thickener consumption.

Preparation of fully aqueous print paste :

A typical stock paste is prepared as follows :

8-12% – Zytrol-600

84-88% – DM Water

2.5 – 2.8% – ZYCOPRINT

1 – 1.5% – R-55 (Softener & leveling agent)

Add Zytrol-600 to the part DM water. Start stirring  and add ZYCOPRINT,  R-55   and remaining DM water. Stir for 5-10 minutes. Filter (140-160 mesh nylon cloth) . Add pigment emulsion and  Melamine resin (if needed).

For very heavy shades like 8-10% one may want to use higher percentage of Zytrol-600 to get desired dry & wet fastness. There are many variations of procedures for stock preparation. The sequencing and time of stirring should be optimized by individual mill.

Preparation of solvent based print paste:

A typical stock paste is prepared as follows :

8-10% – Zytrol-600

4-6% – DM Water

2 – 4% – Urea

75 – 80% – Kerosene (solvent)

1 – 1.5% – R-55 (Softener & leveling agent)

There is no need of any acid catalyst to be added in Zytrol-600.  One can add Melamine resin for improving the fastness, especially on polyester cotton blends.  Normal departmental procedure for preparation of paste should be followed.

• Do not store above 45^oC or in direct sun.
• After each withdrawal from the container, always ensure to close the cap.

K-2000-B series of water based coloured inks are specially formulated for block printing applications (specifically for printers in Jaipur, Ahmedabad, UP, Kolkata and other areas). K-2000-B coloured inks when printed with block give very good open time and give excellent registration with no bleeding tendency on substrates like silk, polyester cotton and fine cotton sarees. K-2000-B coloured inks give extraordinary definition of print. One does not need to apply a lot of pressure for their registration and thereby eliminates smudging of prints.

Features Economical Glossy appearance Zero feelBlock out ability Good Dry & Wet Rub Fastness Good Wash Fastness Strong Inter Coat Adhesion No shade variation of prints at high temperature Excellent Re-emulsification Flowable Viscosity Good compatibility

Benefits Availability of dark shades & Reducer.. Attractive pink look Does not impart body & harshness to the printed portion. Allows to print on dark backgroundBetter durability of print to rubbing. Same look & feel even after repeated washings Good Fastness even for over-printing Retains brightness & tone of the prints at high temperature Easy washability of block Easy flow. Gives better registration of prints. Compatible with other K-2000-B coloured inks, K-2000-REDUCER & ZYTROL-500

K-2000-B coloured inks are specially formulated dark inks supplied at a printable viscosity for block printing applications.  The printer can reduce the viscosity by simply adding ZYTROL-500  binder or any good quality binder or water as per needs.

K-2000-B coloured inks have been made available in eight basic pure pigmented colours:  Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Red, Violet, White and Yellow.  K-2000-B coloured inks are inter-mixable and being based on clean pure pigments allow the printer to generate bright and clean shades by mixing appropriate colour combination.  Due to extraordinary soft feel, ability to block out, bright and dark colour, these inks can generate very good quality prints on dark background.

K-2000-B coloured inks have the advantage of  being produced by direct printing with no smudging, bleeding and dull looking prints.  Discharge printing always restricts the printer to get reproducible lots of fabric.  The exact tone and colour matching of discharge print is always a tough task even for a skilled printer.

K-2000-B coloured inks will allow the printer to achieve good quality block print with substantial ease and reduce the rejections practically to zero. K-2000-B coloured inks can be diluted to formulate pastel, light and medium colours by mixing appropriate colour and White ink along with K-2000-REDUCER.

The extra ordinary fastness properties of K-2000-B and crock fastness of 3-4 with excellent wash fastness allow the printer to meet the tough standards which are to be achieved only by vat and discharge prints.  The new technology is likely to open up a new market segment with respect to fabric prints, using eco-friendly production techniques.

Stable for 6-12 months  if stored in a shade at room temperature  in a closed container.

Being water based inks, evaporation of water can lead to destabilisation of final ink formulation.  After opening the container, one must add small quantity (50-100gm) of water and seal it tightly to avoid water loss from surface and avoid drying of upper surface.

ROOM TEMPERATURE CURABLE

Zytrol-500 is a binder recommended to be used in  Aqueous Pigment Printing. It replaces conventional binders which are designed for water based pigment printing system. Zytrol-500 as a part of aqueous pigment printing system reduces the consumption of water based thickeners such as RAN-5000 and it also improves colour value of the final print. The most important feature of Zytrol-500 is that it does not need high temperature cure. After drying, it cures in 24 hours by itself at room temperature giving washing and crock fastness equivalent to oven cured conventional binders.
