Dow launches a patented silicone ink, SILASTIC™ LCF 9600 M Textile Printing Ink Base to support the higher demand for synthetic textiles that can be used for printing on synthetic and cotton fabrics, particularly highly elastic garments.
Offers Increased Matte Effect & Improved Hand Feel
The increased use of synthetic yarns in recent years has resulted in greater performance requirements on ink chemistries such as durability, elongation and ease of use in highly elastic sportwear. Dow leveraged the exceptional benefits of silicone ink bases with products such as SILASTIC™ LCF 9600 Textile Printing Ink Base and SILASTIC™ 9601 Textile Printing Ink Base.
Designed for an increased matte effect and improved hand feel, the patented SILASTIC™ LCF 9600 M offers excellent wash durability, high elongation, very soft low tack touch and avoids the “
orange peel effect” on cotton substrates.
Additionally, SILASTIC™ LCF 9600 M enables safer textile development with its ability to be formulated without the use of PVC, phthalates, solvents, organotins and formaldehyde.
“
At Dow, we continue to support apparel manufacturers in their next performance challenges,” said Isabelle Riff, Dow global marketing leader for Textiles. “
Our latest solution, SILASTIC™ LCF 9600 M Textile Printing Ink Base, builds on the strength of Dow’s existing product offerings and is a testament to our dedication to continued innovation for the textile industry.”
Dow’s Benoit Henault, Technical Service & Development senior scientist, will lead a webinar on the specifications and performance benefits of SILASTIC™ LCF 9600 M Textile Printing Ink Base, moderated by Isabelle Riff on November 16, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. CET / 3:30 pm IST titled “
Advanced silicone printing inks for better performance and textile regulatory compliance.”
