Catalyst 5002 for water-based paints – DST
DST Catalyst 5002 is a specialized chemical additive designed for water-based inks used in screen printing and transfer printing. This product is responsible for the ink cross-linking process, making prints more durable, wash-resistant, and resistant to mechanical damage.
Adding a catalyst to water-based ink improves its performance properties and increases the durability of textile prints. This product is particularly recommended for professional printing on promotional, sports, and workwear clothing.
The DST 105002 catalyst allows for higher resistance of prints to washing, abrasion and stretching, thanks to which the prints maintain their aesthetic appearance for a long time.
