FABRIC TREATMENT COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A fabric treatment composition comprises a fatty acid and a silicone elastomer, wherein the composition is used as a pretreatment for the fabric prior to application of ink thereto to facilitate retention and resolution of the ink on the fabric. The composition may also comprise a polyethylene glycol stearate and a fatty acid condensation product. The invention also describes a method of treating a fabric prior to printing thereon with an ink, the method comprising locating the fabric on a frame or base, applying a treatment composition comprising a polyethylene glycol stearate and a silicone elastomer to the fabric, and drying the fabric immediately thereafter. The invention further is for a method of preparing a fabric treatment composition.
