Can textile discharge printing binder be used for discharge printing on knitted fabrics?

Dec 03, 2025

Hey there! As a supplier of Textile Discharge Printing Binder, I often get asked if our binder can be used for discharge printing on knitted fabrics. Well, let's dig into this topic and find out!

First off, let's understand what discharge printing is. Discharge printing is a process where the original color of the fabric is removed in specific areas using a discharge agent, and then a new color is applied. It's a great way to create unique and vibrant designs on fabrics. Knitted fabrics, on the other hand, have their own characteristics. They are stretchy, soft, and have a different structure compared to woven fabrics. So, the big question is, can our textile discharge printing binder work well on these knitted fabrics?

One of the key factors to consider is the compatibility of the binder with the knitted fabric. Our binder is formulated to be highly versatile. It has excellent adhesion properties, which means it can stick well to the knitted fabric. The knitted fabric has a porous structure, and our binder can penetrate into these pores, creating a strong bond. This is crucial because during the discharge printing process, there are various mechanical and chemical treatments involved, and the binder needs to hold up.

Another important aspect is the flexibility of the binder. Knitted fabrics stretch and move a lot, especially during wear. Our binder is designed to be flexible, so it can move with the fabric without cracking or peeling. This ensures that the printed design remains intact even after multiple stretches and washes. For example, if you print a cool pattern on a knitted T - shirt, you don't want the design to start looking shabby after just a few wears. With our binder, that's less likely to happen.

Now, let's talk about the color fastness. In discharge printing, the color fastness is super important. Our binder helps to enhance the color fastness of the printed design on knitted fabrics. It protects the color from fading due to washing, sunlight, and other environmental factors. We've conducted a lot of tests, and the results show that the designs printed with our binder on knitted fabrics maintain their vividness for a long time.

When it comes to the discharge process itself, our binder can withstand the chemicals used in the discharge agent. The discharge agent is responsible for removing the original color of the fabric, and it can be quite harsh. But our binder is resistant to these chemicals, so it won't break down or lose its properties during the discharge process.

Let's also mention some of our related products. If you're interested in other types of binders for different printing needs, we have some great options.

Another product is the Pud for Nylon and Denim Printing Paste. Although it's mainly designed for nylon and denim, it also has some properties that can be useful for knitted fabrics in certain printing applications. It has good adhesion and can help to create a smooth and even print surface.

And then there's the Impranil Dl1380 Alternative Polyurethane Pud. This is a high - quality alternative that offers similar performance to some well - known products in the market. It can be used in combination with our textile discharge printing binder for even better results on knitted fabrics.

In terms of the printing process on knitted fabrics, here are some tips. First, make sure the knitted fabric is clean and free from any contaminants before printing. This will ensure better adhesion of the binder. Second, adjust the printing pressure and speed according to the type of knitted fabric. Some knitted fabrics are more delicate, so you may need to use a lower pressure.
