PERMASET® Print Retarder
PERMASET® Print Retarder is designed to slow the drying of PERMASET® and other screen printing inks. Retarded drying serves to increase open time and reduces drying in or clogging of the screen, particularly with fine meshes and in low humidity environments. PERMASET® Print Retarder also improves release of both ink from the screen and screen from the print.

PERMASET® Fabric Softener
PERMASET® Fabric Softener is based on silicone technology designed for use in textile printing and imparts a softer, drier hand feel to prints. It also improves both wet and dry rub fastness. It is recommended for delicate fabrics where a soft print handle is paramount.

PERMASET® Standard Binder
PERMASET® Standard Binder is typically used when washout problems occur, usually as a result of excessive addition of Pigment Concentrates or other additives. PERMASET® Standard Binder improves print strength, but is also likely to stiffen the handle.

PERMASET® Anti-bleed Additive
PERMASET® Anti-Bleed Additive is designed to prevent or minimise print bleeding or hazing, particularly on synthetic fabrics.
This manifests as ink bleeding along individual fibres and is more common with low viscosity inks on fabrics with high synthetic content that has not been made print ready.
PERMASET® Anti-Bleed Additive enjoys particular utility on synthetic fabric where super fine detail is required. It is often used in conjunction with PERMASET® Synthetic Fixer.
The addition of PERMASET® Anti-Bleed Additive yields prints with better definition and improved resolution of fine detail. -
PERMASET® Thickener
PERMASET® Thickener is designed to increase the viscosity of PERMASET® and other inks, typically after dilution with another additive or to thicken an ink to allow printing through more open mesh. It should only be added under vigorous stirring.

PERMASET® Synthetic Fixer
PERMASET® Synthetic Fixer is an additive to improve print adhesion on textiles that might otherwise be problematic. It is most widely used for printing on synthetic fabrics like polyester/cotton blends or textiles that are rich in polyester or acrylic fibre.
