Reactive Printing

01.  Fabric Preparation (Scouring/Bleaching/Enzyme/Dyeing)

02.  Print Paste Preparation (Ingredients-A. Urea-helps to bring the dye into solution and maintain humidity. B. Water. C. Dyes. D. Na-Alginate-Thickener, it is used in Reactive Printing as other thickeners contain –OH group and this –OH group readily react with Reactive dyes. E. Resist Salt or Ludigol. F. NaHCO3-mild Alkali. Process-A. (Urea+Dye+Water) Stirring = Paste-1. B. (Paste-1+Resist Salt+Water+Na-Alginate) Stirring = Paste-2. C. Paste-2+NaHCO3 = Paste-3 (Final paste).).

03.  Printing (with different printing methods and styles).

04.  Drying

05.  Steaming

06.  Soaping or Washing.
