Polyacrylamide (PAM) as a Thickener in Textile Printing

Table of Contents

Ensuring Print Precision and Consistent Quality

Textile printing requires precise viscosity control to achieve sharp patterns and consistent color intensity. Poor thickening leads to bleeding, blurred designs, and rejects.

Polyacrylamide is widely used as a thickening agent in textile printing pastes.

Why PAM Is Suitable for Printing Pastes

PAM improves viscosity while maintaining:

  • Paste stability
  • Pigment dispersion
  • Color strength

It works well in screen printing, roller printing, and modern digital printing systems.

Practical Benefits for Printing Operations

  • Clean pattern edges
  • Stable paste rheology
  • Reduced printing defects
  • Improved production consistency

Procurement Considerations

  • Viscosity control range
  • Compatibility with pigments and binders
  • Stability under shear
  • Storage and handling properties

Conclusion

PAM-based thickeners support high-quality textile printing by ensuring viscosity stability and pattern clarity. Correct selection reduces waste and improves print consistency.
