Printing Paste

Post by orionis83 »

Hello,

I am from India, and we have common practice of printing a white Titanium Dioxide based printing paste on cotton and polyester fabric using manual and automatic Flat-bed machines.
Right now I am facing a problem with my paste used on automatic machine. Problem is when the stapper moves on printing frame its properly spreading the paste but on coming back some of the paste gets stuck on the printing frame surface with eventually causes frame choke up. So is there any additive that can I use which make paste non-sticky or helps cleaning of printing frame properly. I am giving the recipe of the paste.

Titanium Dioxide : 20kg
China Clay: 50 kg
Binder: 75 kg
Water: 10kg
Kerosene: 50 kg
Saffolite DS: 2 kg
Fixer( Crosslinking Agent): 1 kg

Please give me some solution.

Regards
Abhishek
