Silica sol is a colloidal solution made of silicate through a special process. It has strong stability and stable chemical properties. In textile printing and dyeing, it is a versatile agent that can be used as a thickener, an adhesive, and a waterproof agent.
Thickener: Make printing clearer
As a thickener, silica sol can adjust the viscosity of the printing and dyeing slurry, making the printed pattern clearer and fuller. Just add an appropriate amount of silica sol to the printing and dyeing slurry and stir it evenly to achieve the effect you want.
Adhesive: Make printing firmer
As an adhesive, silica sol can enhance the adhesion of the surface of textiles, making the printed pattern firmer and less likely to fall off. Mix silica sol with dyes or pigments to form a printing slurry, and then print it on textiles. After drying and color fixing, the printed pattern can be firmly attached to the textiles.
Waterproofing agent: Make textiles more moisture-resistant
As a waterproofing agent, silica sol can give textiles a "waterproof coat" to keep them dry on wet or rainy days. Simply apply the silica sol evenly on the surface of the textile and dry it to form a waterproof film to achieve a waterproof effect.
