November 22, 2022

When selecting home textile products, we must pay attention to the printing and dyeing methods of the products. Because after this is likely to affect our use of security.

The difference between reactive printing and paint printing

The paint printing is combined with the fabric by physical bonding (popularly speaking, the dye brush is on the fabric surface);

Reactive printing is directly combined with fabric (popularly speaking, the dye is blended with the fabric).

In general, the reactive printing feel should be softer, and the color fastness of paint printing is relatively unfavorable and tends to appear white.

 

The characteristics of active printing: low formaldehyde content, bright color, color fastness of 4 to 5, soft to the touch, the printing site is not sticky, these are paint printing can not be achieved.

Disadvantages of reactive printing: The process is complex (dyeing-printing-drying-steaming-baking-washing- soaping-washing-drying) requiring multiple washes after printing and dyeing, resulting in a large amount of waste water.

Paint printing features: simple process, low cost.

Disadvantages of paint printing: poor color fastness (generally 3); hard to feel, rough contact with the skin; formaldehyde content is higher than the activity, the printing part is sticky and uncomfortable.

How to identify paint printing


The amount of activity is high, and the printing area is sticky and uncomfortable.

Color: The color of the paint print is not bright and the color is dark, giving a feeling that the color is floating on the surface of the cloth.

Look at the gloss: If you see a glossy feeling on the surface of the cloth, it may be a paint print; it is only one-time, and it will disappear after washing.

Smell smell: paint printing adds a lot of adhesives, no water treatment, so the finished fabric will have a strong sense of ink.

Feeling Feel: The paint print is hard to feel. To cover this defect, a lot of softener will be added, but the hardness will be restored after washing.


Compared with reactive printing and paint printing, active printing is superior in terms of usability, comfort and safety. However, with the development of printing and dyeing technologies, paint printing will also solve these problems. Nowadays, paint printing has environmental protection and Not environmentally friendly, but because we lack the knowledge to distinguish, so it is best to choose active printing fabrics.
