Crosslinkers are chemicals that are used to create crosslinks between the polymer chains in a binder. This creates a stronger and more durable binder, which improves the adhesion of the print to the fabric and also makes the print more resistant to wear and tear.

Crosslinkers are used in a variety of textile printing processes, including pigment emulsion printing, binder printing, and reactive printing. The type of crosslinker used will depend on the type of binder and the desired properties of the print.

Here are some of the benefits of using crosslinkers in textile printing:

• Improved adhesion: Crosslinkers help to improve the adhesion of the print to the fabric. This is especially important for printing on synthetic fabrics, such as polyester and nylon.
• Increased durability: Crosslinkers make the print more resistant to wear and tear, as well as to chemicals and solvents. This makes crosslinkers ideal for printing on fabrics that will be subjected to heavy use, such as workwear and sportswear.
• Improved color fastness: Crosslinkers can also help to improve the color fastness of prints, making them less likely to fade over time. This is important for high-quality prints that are expected to last.
