In printing processes, the composition of printing paste plays a decisive role in the final outcome. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), as one of the important types of printing pastes, serves an indispensable and crucial function in printing color pastes.
Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) precisely controls pigment viscosity through its excellent rheological properties, ensuring uniform dye adsorption onto fiber surfaces and significantly improving dyeing uniformity. At the same time, its outstanding thixotropy enables smooth spreading of the pigment during screen printing, with rapid recovery of viscosity after external force is removed, effectively preventing color bleeding and edge deformation.
Simply put, rheology and thixotropy are important factors affecting printing performance.
