Texipol® 63-237 is part of an easy-to-use range of inverse emulsion thickeners designed specifically for pigment printing. It ensures sharp and well-defined prints, high bleed/flush resistance, superior wet and dry rub fastness, excellent color yield and brilliance, and a soft handle. APEO-free, Texipol® 63-237 is engineered for optimal print performance on cotton, polyester blended fabrics, and other fibrous materials.

- Storage Condition
Texipol® 63-237 may be stored at temperatures between 5°-40°C / 41°F-104°F. If the product freezes it should be thawed completely by placing the container in a warm water bath and homogenized completely by mixing thoroughly before use. Texipol® 63-237 can be stored in glass, stainless steel, plastic or epoxy lined vessels. It should not be stored in mild steel, copper or aluminum containers.
- Applications
Texipol® 63-237 is provided as a low viscosity, easy to use thickener which can be easily pumped and metered. It does not require the addition of ammonia or other alkaline additives and is compatible with a wide number of pigments and binders. TEXIPOL 63-237 can be used over a wide pH range.; Texipol® 63-237 can be used for preparing a thickener stock (with or without ingredients, except color) or be added to a stirred mixture of pre-weighed water, pigment and binder. Thickening is generally achieved in less than 1 minute.; Texipol® 63-237 is suitable for printing using handscreens, rotary and flat bed printing machines. It is not uncommon for Texipol® inverse emulsions to separate over time. This does not in any way indicate that the material is unfit for use. We recommend that Texipol® be stirred prior to use using a low-shear mixing system (e.g. with a paddle or handheld mixer) to ensure that the material is uniform when added to a formulation. Further, for formulations with a low percentage of water and/or where a low level of Texipol® is required, we recommend that water be added to the Texipol® prior to addition to the formulation (roughly 4 - 7% of Texipol® in water). This will prevent the possibility of localized pockets of thickened water in the formulation.
- Packaging Information
Texipol® 63-237 is supplied in a 441 lb. net weight steel drum and is imported from the United Kingdom.
