JETTEX INDANTHREN INKS
and the digital VAT printing process havebeen developed by DyStar and ZIMMER AUSTRIA.
The goal is to make DIGITAL VAT printing availableto the industry and to open new opportunities for the high-end printing industry. It is for sure thatvat dyes are in many cases the better alternative toreactive and pigment dyes when it comes to printon viscose fibers.
• Indigo blue is part of the vat dye family.• The vat dye is printed in form of a pigment.• During the padding and steaming process the pigments are transferred
into a liquid form (soluble in sodium hydrosulfide) and enter the cellulose fiber. • During the oxidizing step vat dye is transferred back into its insoluble form.
