Synthesis and properties of s-triazine di-sulfanilic guar gum as a thickener in reactive printing

S-triazine di-sulfanilic guar gum (TSG) was successfully prepared by monochlorotriazine di-sulfanilic (TS) and guar gum (GG) in order to improve the printing properties in reactive printing. The results showed that the optimized synthesis condition of TSG was at sodium carbonate solution 1.2 g/L at 90℃ for 75 min through the single-factor experiment. Compared to GG, TSG had better flowability, mainly viscous effects and higher viscosity recoverability, which was more appropriate as a thickener in reactive printing. In the cotton printing experiment, TSG had higher paste add-on, color yield, penetration and levelness than GG. Furthermore, the printing effects of TSG on cotton drew near to those of sodium alginate, which could obtain evenly colored large patterns and excellent outline sharpness.
