INKS & CHEMICAL SPECIALTIES FOR TEXTILE PRINTING
For years Grafco has been specialized in formulating and producing inks for textile screen printing and for t-shirt printing inks using automatic carousel machinery with IR drying units.
Our close co-operation with the most famous Italian fashion designers has enabled us to formulate products with extremely particular and "new" characteristics, which give highly original printing "effects" and finishes    

NEWTEX
Range of water-based high opaque, clear and white bases with soft hand, that are totally innovative thanks to the low formaldehyde content of all the components, whereby this range is in compliance with the latest European, American and Japanese norms.
This special range of Grafco textile printing inks has recently been the most popular.
Today these products are considered on the European market as the most opaque and brightest printing inks with high levels of fastness and printability, ideal for industrial textile screen-printing companies with automatic machines and intermediate IR drying units.. This line has been studied in order to obtain perfect opacity, resistance to washing, soft hand and especially printability, also under extreme environmental conditions.       

NEWTEX SUPERFLEX
Recently we have introduced in the market an innovative line of products called NEWTEX SUPERFLEX, developed for Lycra and elasticized fabrics. This range of product is very opaque and thanks to the low formaldehyde content of all the components, whereby this range is in compliance with the latest European, American and Japanese norms.

NOVATEX
Wide range of different water-based, clear and white opaque bases with soft hand designed to offer a system for textile printing with a n extremely convenient price/performance ratio.
Special water-based inks and chemicals for discharge printing are presented in the same line.

CROMATEX 2000 PIGMENTS

This is a complete range of special high concentrated pigments suitable for water-based inks developed by GRAFCO specifically for textile screen printing with fantastic brightness, purity of shade and high opacity even on dark surfaces using the water based Grafco lines like  NEWTEX,   NOVATEX  or SY-TEX . This line of products is the results of several years of research of our lab to obtain the maximum colour efficience using screen printing technology  

SY-TEX
A range of ready-to-use water-based inks for textile screen printing, available in white and clear opaque base or in ready to print shades, to use with and even without oven polymerization. These products are extremely resistant to washing (even to enzymatic washing and stone washing) and highly opaque on dark fabrics, whether cotton or synthetic. The use of Cromatex 2000 pigments with SY-TEX  bases or ready to use shades can satisfy any color request.
These ink line was studied to offer the maximum adhesion properties and the maximum washing fastness on any synthetic fabrics made in polyester, polyammide ,acrilic and so on . The printings made with this ink, are resistant to heavy washing and industrial finishing, even on work clothes, and also to dry cleaning; moreover they have been formulated in order not to receive the dyes generally used for garment dyeing ( TINTO CAPO).
The white and clear SY-TEX products are often combined with the other ranges of GRAFCO inks, since they enable maximum resistance to treatment, dyeing and washing to be achieved.
A range of additives which permits application at lower temperatures or even at room temperature  is also available.

PRINTABLE FLOCKING ADHESIVES
We have developed different types of adhesives for textile screen printing and subsequent electrostatic flocking with many possibilities of reticulation either by oven or at room temperature.

AVANTEX
A vast range of ready-to-use plastisol inks PHTHALATE FREE  for textile screen printing with optimized opacity on dark fabrics and brightness of shades. All the pigments used in this line are obviously lead-free and present fantastic printability and a low curing temperature ( 140 C° - 150 C°).
We also have all the additives and special products such as fast-curing White, expanding additives, special bases for 3D printing, matting bases, very soft hand bases for white fabrics, process color, fluo colors, glow-in-the-dark colors, catalyst for nylon application and so on.
