Silicone ink is a versatile printing material that can be added with different ingredients depending on specific application and effect requirements. Here are some common ingredients and additions to achieve different effects:
1, Color pigments: Adding different color pigments can achieve rich patterns and design effects. Silicone inks usually use pigments to create colors.
2, Foaming agent: The addition of foaming agent can create bubbles or bumpy effects, giving the pattern a three-dimensional feel.
3, Anti-fade agents: To improve the durability of your prints, anti-fade agents can be added to prevent the colors from fading during laundering.
4, Thickeners: Thickeners help adjust the viscosity of silicone ink to ensure it spreads evenly onto textiles during the printing process.
5, Softener: Adding softener can improve the feel of your print, making it softer and more comfortable.
6, Adhesives: Some applications may require better adhesion, so adhesives may be added to increase the durability of the printed image.
7, Anti-sticking agent: Anti-sticking agent can prevent silicone ink from sticking to the printing roller or screen during the printing process, thereby improving production efficiency.
8, Luminous powder: Adding luminous powder can achieve a luminous effect, making the pattern glow in the dark.
9, Waterproofing agent: The addition of waterproofing agent can make silicone prints waterproof and suitable for outdoor use.
10, CLEANER: Scavenger can be used to remove silicone ink for correction or reprinting.
11, Fragrance or essence: Fragrance can add fragrance to printed matter and is suitable for some special applications, such as fragrance printing.
