Aqueous composition for finishing fibrous material for a thermal transfer printing process

Abstract

An aqueous composition is disclosed for finishing fibrous material for a thermal transfer printing process comprising a) 0.5 to 2.5 percent by weight of a synthetic resin precondensate, b) 10 to 30 percent by weight of a thermoplastic plastic with reactive groups, c) 0.1 to 1.0 percent by weight of an inorganic salt with an acidic reaction, d) 0.2 to 2.0 percent by weight of a softening agent, and e) 0.05 to 0.5 percent by weight of an emulsifier. The disclosure is further directed to the use of the composition for a thermal transfer printing process and a thermal printing process.
