PROPERTIES APPLICATION

ALGINATE HV is a sodium alginate based thickener which is Recommended preparation of the stock thickening
suitable for printing on cotton, rayon and polyester as well.

50 g ALGINATE HV
950 g water
As a printing thickener, ALGINATE HV has very good properties,
such as clear and sharp outlines, bright color and soft handle. 1.000 g stock thickening at 5%

The thickening powder is simply stirred into cold water by

means of a rapid stirrer.
ALGINATE HV is compatible with the normal concentrations of Swelling time : at least 8 hours needed to have it swelled
