RUDOLF, a world leader in speciality chemicals, announces a development in digital textile printing with the introduction of its new Digital Pigment Printing Toolbox. Continuous research and development enables RUDOLF to o er products with maximum performance and minimum environmental impact.
Interest in digital pigment printing is growing because it has the advantage over other printing technologies of eliminating one process step. With pigment printing, there is no need for post- treatment, which means that the water required for post-treatment can be saved. Digital pigment printing also o ers remarkable exibility, as designs can be easily adapted and it is applicable to all bre types. To further enhance the quality of pigment printing, pre-treatments are used to improve rub fastness, intensify colours and soften the feel of textiles.
The RUDOLF toolbox consists of di erent pre-treatment products and o ers:
• Sustainability: All products in the toolbox are free from formaldehyde and butanone oxime. In addition, the core product and some combination products are completely free of blocking agents.
• Performance: The products in the toolbox o er di erent e ects: improved rub fastness, colour enhancement and soft touch. The products can be applied to the textile according to the requirements of the speci c e ect.
• Customisation: The toolbox is based on a core product, RUCO®-PRINT PXS, which can be combined with any other product in the toolbox to create a tailor-made pretreatment with a variety of e ects.
• Convenient application: To combine the products and create a customised pre-treatment, the di erent products can be blended in a single bath, making it quick and easy to use.
With the introduction of the Toolbox, RUDOLF presents a comprehensive solution package for pre- treatment in digital pigment printing. This new technology paves the way for future developments with a focus on expanding capabilities. At RUDOLF, responsibility means continuously re ning our entire manufacturing process to achieve optimal results - for our customers, for ourselves and for the environment.
