Abstract
The discharge print paste formulation contains synthetic layered silicate as a carrier and thickening agent, one or more bleaching agents selected from sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide, water and optionally sodium hydroxide and discharges color when applied to washable color fast natural fabric (cotton, linen) or washable synthetic and permanent press fabric. The discharge print paste formulation is applied to the fabric. The treated fabric is dried at room temperature, washed and dried to get a pattern of discharged color where the discharge print paste formulation is applied.
Claims6
A discharge print paste formulation consisting essentially of a mixture of about 10 to about 30 wt % synthetic layered silicate as both a carrier and thickening agent;
- about 1 to about 20 wt % of one or more bleaching agents selected from the group consisting of sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide;
- water and optionally sodium hydroxide;
- and
- wherein the synthetic layered silicate comprises 59.5% silicon dioxide (SiO2), 27.5% magnesium oxide (MgO), 0.8% lithium oxide (Li2O) and 2.8% sodium oxide (Na2O).
A method of discharge printing of a fabric comprising applying a discharge print paste formulation to a dyed fabric, wherein the discharge print paste formulation consisting essentially of a mixture of about 10 to about 30 wt % synthetic layered silicate as both a carrier and thickening agent;
- about 1 to about 20 wt % of one or more bleaching agents selected from the group consisting of sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide;
- water and optionally sodium hydroxide;
- and wherein the synthetic layered silicate comprises 59.5% silicon dioxide (SiO2), 27.5% magnesium oxide (MgO), 0.8% lithium oxide (Li2O) and 2.8% sodium oxide (Na2O), drying the treated fabric at room temperature, followed by washing and drying the fabric.
