Title: Transfer printing on cotton knits

Abstract

I n the work, preference was given to synthetic polymers—modifiers of acrylic and urethane nature of domestic production. These are polymers of a series of lacrotenes, ruzins, laruses, as well as polymers based on urethanes—aquapols. For comparison, polymers from foreign manufacturers were used, widely spread both in sublimation printing and in Russian textile industries for textile materials finishing. The effectiveness of using the above-mentioned modifiers as primers for thermal printing was evaluated by a set of qualitative indicators of the colors: color saturation (intensity), the strength of the colors to friction, the degree of transfer of the dye from the paper substrate to the fabric. For the sublimation transfer of dyes to the fabric, a thermal press, model SFS-MO4B, was used. The objects of the study were bleached cotton knitted fabric. Dispersed dyes of domestic production which were used for printing on paper and when choosing optimal conditions for the transfer and fixation of dyes on fabric. At the first stage, in order to select the most effective polymers as modifiers of textile material.
