Lancer Group Intl., Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, has added Easy-Charge Additive (ECA) to its Excalibur product line of phthalate-free plastisol and water-based textile screen printing inks.
ECA is a clear water-based additive that can be mixed in a 1-to-1 ratio with any Excalibur 500PF, 533PF, 550PF plastisol ink color, or 581PF arctic white, to produce soft, dischargeable prints on 100% cotton reactively-dyed, dark garments.
Even though garments discharged with this mixture will not have the soft-hand feel associated with completely water-based discharge prints, the prints will be much softer than traditional opaque plastisol prints and will get substantially softer after being washed, according to the company.
A mixture with ECA stays open in the screen longer, increasing production. ECA also is CPSIA-compliant.
