Water-based Printing Pastes

Industrial Excellence in Specialty Textile Printing Chemistry

In the high-stakes B2B garment manufacturing sector, technical differentiation is the primary driver of market competitiveness. CLT (Changlian) delivers a comprehensive portfolio of specialty effect pastes engineered to transform standard apparel into high-value, high-performance products. Our formulations are specifically optimized for modern industrial environments, ensuring stability on high-speed automated oval and rotary screen printing equipment.

1. Functional Innovation for High-Value Manufacturing

CLT’s specialty range extends beyond aesthetics, providing functional solutions that solve complex production challenges while meeting the creative demands of global brands.

• Eco-Sustainable Solutions: The 3711-D Biodegradable Paste and our USDA-certified Biobased 3711-10 series utilize wood cellulose-derived raw materials, offering a sustainable alternative to petrochemical-based inks without compromising on 4-level softness or 5-level elasticity. These are ideal for high-end eco-conscious sportswear and intimate apparel.
• Advanced Protection & Durability: For dye-migration-prone synthetics, the MP6000-12 Anti-sublimation Underbase provides a high-efficiency barrier. For the denim sector, the 9433 and 9466A/C Jean Pastes are engineered to withstand rigorous industrial enzyme and stone washing processes, maintaining superior whiteness and gloss.
• Safety & Performance: Solutions like the H222-1 Fire Resistant Paste and our Anti-Mosquito series allow manufacturers to enter specialized safety and functional apparel markets. Our 277-3 Conductive Paste further enables the creation of smart textiles by integrating electronic functionality directly into the print.

2. High-Precision Specialty Effects

We enable manufacturers to achieve complex visual textures with industrial-grade reliability and consistency.

• Dimensional & Tactile Textures: The MP399 High Foaming Paste delivers exceptional expansion height, while the 811-2 Thick Board Paste allows for significant 3D build-up without collapsing. For a unique tactile experience, the 2500-3/2500C-3 Sand Surface series provides a durable granular texture.
• Artisanal & Vintage Aesthetics: Achieve sophisticated vintage looks with the 655/655C Crackle series (requiring 306 primer) or the 9166/9166C Direct Crack Paste. The 368C-20 Suede Foaming Paste creates a luxurious velvet-like finish, while the 888H Foil Paste ensures a smooth, non-sticky surface for gold and silver imitation effects.
• Smart & Interactive Chemistry: Beyond the 277-3 conductive series, our 232 Photochromic series (UV-induced color change) and 235 Fluorescent series add interactive and high-visibility elements to modern garment designs.

3. Engineered for Automated Efficiency

Successful specialty printing requires chemistry that synchronizes with advanced machinery. CLT pastes are designed for "set-and-forget" stability on the factory floor.

• Rheological Stability: Our pastes, such as the 3399-3/3399C-3 CMYK Dot series, maintain consistent viscosity during long-shift operations on oval machines, minimizing downtime for screen cleaning. The S627-1 Water Paste offers exceptional softness and ease of operation for large-area prints.
• Technical Note: Operators must ensure proper curing temperatures (typically 130°C - 160°C depending on the specific series) and mesh count selection (80-250 mesh) to achieve optimal fastness and effect clarity. Pre-production testing for interlayer adhesion is mandatory when combining functional layers.
• Discharge Solutions: The 533-9/533C-9 Discharge series achieves exceptionally soft hand feel on reactive-dyed cotton without damaging textile fibers, maintaining fabric integrity while removing base colors effectively.

4. Global Compliance and Supply Chain Safety

CLT prioritizes transparency and safety, ensuring all specialty effect pastes comply with the most stringent international standards, including Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Adidas A-01, Nike RSL, and ZDHC Level 3. This compliance simplifies the certification process for factories supplying global retail leaders.
