Technical Data Sheet LYOPRINT® PBA pigment printing binder
APPLICATIONS
The application level will vary depending on pigment concentration and the fastness required. It is
recommended that a concentration of 60 g/kg be maintained as an absolute minimum, even for the
palest depths. Typical levels of LYOPRINT® PBA binder to be used in reduction and stock
thickenings are given below:
Reduction Stock
Thickening (kg) Thickening (kg)
Water X Y
Ammonia (25%) 5 5
LYOPRINT® PA-NS antifoam 2 4
LYOPRINT® PD-ER emulsifier 3 3
LYOPRINT® PBA binder 60 250
LYOPRINT® PFL fixing agent 0–5 0–20
®
LYOPRINT PS-MG softener 0–10 0–20
®
LYOPRINT PT-RV thickener 13–15 15–18
1.000 kg 1.000 kg
The ammonia, LYOPRINT® PA-NS antifoam, LYOPRINT® PBA binder and LYOPRINT® PD-ER
emulsifier are added to water together with the other auxiliaries as required. LYOPRINT® PT-RV
thickener is then introduced and the stock stirred using a high shear mixer for 10–15 minutes to
allow the full viscosity to develop.
Pigment is then added as required, with stirring, to an appropriate blend of the two stock thickenings
that will give the required binder to pigment ratio in the final paste. Pale shades (less than 5 g/kg
pigment) will require the use of only the reduction thickening. As the depth of shade increases, an
increasing proportion of the stock thickening will be required. For heavy shades, e.g. 40–50 g/kg
pigment, only the concentrated stock thickening will be required. It should be noted that the
LYOPRINT® PBA binder concentrations in the above example are given as a guide only. The
concentrations in both the stock and the reduction thickenings should be adjusted to suit local
operating conditions.
