Optimized for both manual and automatic setups, it improves ink stability, reduces screen clogging, and enhances print uniformity. Ideal for long production runs, it boosts operational efficiency while delivering flawless, highprecision textile prints with superior surface finish.
Global Aqua DP 64 is a high-performance additive engineered to extend the open time of waterbased inks during textile screen printing. Specially formulated to prevent premature drying on screens, it ensures uninterrupted production, even in hot or dry conditions. Compatible with all Global Aqua inks, DP 64 maintains consistent viscosity, reduces mesh clogging, and enhances print clarity. Ideal for both manual and automatic setups, it optimizes workflow efficiency, minimizes downtime, and reduces ink wastage—making it an essential, cost-effective solution for achieving vibrant, high-quality prints with enhanced control and reliability across long print runs

GLOBAL AQ GLOTEX UDA 100 is an acrylic-based dispersant designed for textile printing inks, enhancing pigment and extender stability in latex-based coatings. This sodium salt polyelectrolyte improves dispersion, flow, and leveling, delivering bright, realistic finishes with excellent wash fastness. It supports eco-friendly, high-jetness color applications. Compatibility with various latexes and fillers ensures versatile performance. Formulation should be adjusted for local water hardness and equipment.

This alkaline additive elevates printing dye pH up to 13, optimizing alkaline conditions without compromising color vibrancy or shade accuracy. Enhancing dye reactivity improves fixation and penetration on cotton, polyester, viscose, and blends, resulting in superior wash, rub, and light fastness. Designed for high-speed printing, it offers excellent thermal and mechanical stability while preventing tackiness, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted production. Compatible with diverse textile formulations, it enables precise pH adjustments for applications requiring soft fabric hand-feel, such as apparel and home textiles. Formulated with low VOC and non-toxic ingredients, this eco-friendly additive supports sustainable, safe textile printing operations.

DDA – Denim Discharge Activator is a high-performance, water-soluble chemical specially formulated for vibrant and durable discharge printing on denim and indigo fabrics. Engineered for excellent color coverage and superior elasticity, DDA delivers bright, sharp, and long-lasting prints on dark textiles without compromising fabric softness. Its advanced formulation ensures outstanding wash fastness, making it ideal for premium garment production and bulk textile printing. Free from formaldehyde and harmful substances, DDA supports eco-friendly and sustainable textile manufacturing processes. Perfect for fashion brands and textile printers seeking consistent, high-quality discharge printing results on denim fabrics.

enhances pigment printing with superior softness, vibrant color brilliance, and high wash resistance. This formaldehyde-free, APEO-free, PVC- and phthalate-free softening additive supports eco-friendly textile printing. Ideal for wet-on-wet applications, it blends easily with pigments and delivers a smooth, pleasant fabric feel without affecting dye shade. Recommended usage includes 6% VS510 with 3–6% pigment colors; cure at 160°C for 3 minutes for optimal fixation. Suitable for synthetic softening in water-based formulations, this clear, medium-viscosity liquid ensures storage stability and long-lasting performance. Store between 18°C–35°C in sealed containers; shelf life is 12 months from manufacture.
