Are powder and flake forms available

Yes K6 K5 and K9 can each be supplied in powder or flake form Confirm the required form when requesting a sample or TDS

How do I choose a grade for my printing process

Share the printing process fabric recipe required product form and target viscosity Grade suitability and the final specification must be confirmed by sample and current TDS

What are the confirmed flake viscosity specifications

Using a 5 percent solution on an NDJ 8 viscometer with spindle number 4 at 6 r min K5 is nominal 24000 mPa s with range 21600 to 26400 K6 is nominal 34000 with range 30600 to 37400 K9 is nominal 42000 with range 37800 to 46200 Each range uses ±10 percent tolerance
