Hydrochromic Paste Rubber Screen Printing Ink for Print Color Change in Water

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Hydrochromic Color Transformation: The ink changes color when exposed to water, enabling dynamic designs that shift appearance between "dry" and "wet" states (e.g., a pirate design transitioning between two hues).
  • Screen Printing Precision: Specifically formulated for screen printing processes, ensuring sharp, detailed prints on fabric surfaces using squeegee techniques.

Key features

  • 1. Hydrochromic Color-Changing Technology

    • With hydrochromic technology, the ink transforms colors when exposed to water, enabling dynamic designs that adapt to environmental changes. Unlike traditional inks, this paste offers ~30% more vivid color shifts in wet conditions*.

  • 2. Precision Screen Printing Compatibility

    • With a specialized water-based formula, the ink ensures sharp, high-resolution prints on fabrics using screen printers, delivering ~20% smoother application than oil-based alternatives*. Ideal for detailed apparel and textile designs.

  • 3. Versatile Fabric Adaptability

    • Designed for garment and fabric printing, the ink maintains durability and color integrity across diverse materials, including cotton, polyester, and blends, outperforming standard inks in multi-fiber compatibility*.

  • 4. Interactive Design Solutions

    • With interactive hydrochromic effects, create playful or functional designs (e.g., temperature-sensitive apparel) that engage users—perfect for children’s wear, promotional items, or artistic installations.

  • 5. Eco-Friendly Water-Based Formula

    • Certified as a safer alternative to solvent-based inks, the water-based composition reduces environmental impact while meeting safety standards for skin contact and textile use*.

Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Hydrochromic Stability: The ink retains color integrity after 50+ wash cycles (vs. 20 in standard inks).
    • Eco-Friendly Formula: Zero VOCs, meeting Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 for apparel safety.
    • Multi-State Shifting: Pro Model supports 5-color transitions, enabling complex designs like temperature-sensitive gradients.

  2. Version Selection Guidance:

    • Base Model: Ideal for small-scale artisans and basic applications (e.g., DIY projects, novelty T-shirts).
    • Advanced Model: Suited for commercial printers needing durability (e.g., sportswear with moisture indicators).
    • Pro Model: Best for high-end fashion or technical textiles requiring extreme color shifts (e.g., military-grade gear with environmental response features).

With the Pro Model’s 1,200-rub abrasion resistance, you can produce durable outdoor apparel that reveals hidden UV-reactive patterns when wet. Pair its fast drying time with high-pigment density for professional-grade results.
