Product Overview
This Water-Peelable Cationic Ink-absorbing Coating With Excellent Ink Absorption For DTF Digital Transfer Printing is a specialized aqueous formulation, typically appearing as a milky white to light yellow liquid. Designed as a functional topcoat for DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfer films, its cationic nature is critical for instantaneously anchoring anionic pigment inks, thereby preventing dot gain and ensuring edge sharpness. With a solids content carefully adjusted to 25±2%, this Water-Peelable Cationic Ink-absorbing Coating provides the optimal film thickness to balance high ink load capacity with rapid drying, essential for high-speed digital printing. The pH value is maintained between 4.0 and 6.0 (at 25°C), an acidic environment that stabilizes the cationic charge and maximizes the coating's ionic attraction to ink components. Exhibiting a Brookfield viscosity of less than 2500 mPa·s at 25°C, this Water-Peelable Cationic Ink-absorbing Coating ensures superb flow and leveling, allowing for defect-free application via roller or spray coating methods. It delivers superior ink absorption, resulting in vibrant color reproduction, while its unique water-peelable chemistry guarantees clean and effortless film release after the lamination process, complemented by excellent cutting and die-stripping properties. For storage, the product maintains stability for 3 months at 20°C in its original, unopened containers. A storage temperature range between 5°C and 30°C is recommended. Freezing, exposure to temperatures above 30°C, or microbial contamination must be strictly avoided to prevent irreversible damage such as precipitation or putrefaction.

Key Features
- Exceptional Ink Absorption and Instant Anchoring: This Water-Peelable Cationic Ink-absorbing Coating With Excellent Ink Absorption For DTF Digital Transfer Printing utilizes its strong cationic charge to create an immediate ionic bond with anionic pigment inks upon contact. This mechanism ensures rapid ink wetting and penetration control, preventing dot gain and ink bleeding. The result is a highly defined image layer with superior color saturation, making this Water-Peelable Cationic Ink-absorbing Coating the ideal interface for high-resolution DTF printing.
- Superior Water-Peelable Release and Cutting Performance: Engineered for downstream efficiency, this Water-Peelable Cationic Ink-absorbing Coating forms a film that exhibits controlled adhesion to the PET substrate. After hot-press lamination, it facilitates a remarkably clean and effortless water-peelable separation, leaving no adhesive residue. Simultaneously, the coating film possesses the necessary toughness and rigidity for exceptional die-cutting and kiss-cutting performance, enabling intricate designs to be processed smoothly without tearing or fraying.
- Vivid Color Reproduction and Defect-Free Finish: The optimized formulation of this coating promotes uniform dispersion and fixation of ink pigments at the surface, unlocking the full vibrancy of the printed colors. Its carefully balanced rheology and film-forming properties effectively eliminate common application defects such as snowflaking, water marks, and pinholes. This ensures a consistently smooth and flawless receptive layer, which is critical for achieving professional-grade print quality.
- Stable Application Properties and Reliable Storage: With a controlled solids content of 25±2% and a viscosity below 2500 mPa·s (at 25°C), this coating provides excellent fluidity and leveling for consistent industrial application via roll or spray coating. Its acidic pH range (4.0-6.0) stabilizes the cationic system for long-term performance. The product offers a storage stability of 3 months at 20°C in its original sealed packaging, provided it is kept within the recommended temperature range of 5°C to 30°C and protected from freezing or microbial contamination.
