UMAGUM-TKP08 Tamarind kernel powder is obtained from white Tamarind seed. Seeds are of export quality standard which are again thoroughly passed from Seed cleaning system so as to remove all foreign particles which are insoluble making gum powder completely soluble in water. High quality grinding machines is used to make product of higher mesh size. Tamarind Powder Applications It is widely used as textile printing thickener. It is also used for sizing in jute yarn & cotton warp. It has extensive use in paper & explosive industry where it is used as viscosity builder. It is used as a binder in slurry explosive as a substitute for guar gum. It is used as a core binder in foundries & mosquito coils. It is used as a sizing material in paper industry. It is very effectively used these days by oil drilling companies as soil stabilizer. It has numerous other applications & its low cost gives it an edge over other thickening agents.

UMAGUM-CMT08 CMT08 is modified tamarind powder, extracted from the seeds of tamarind tree (Tamarindusindica). It is specially developed for printing of Polyester with disperses dyestuff followed by super-heated steam fixation (170°C – 180°C). The Chemical name of CMT is Sodium Carboxy Methyl Tamarind Kernel Powder. APPLICATION CMT08 is a textile printing thickener specially developed for printing on polyester with disperses dyestuff followed by superheated steam fixation (170°C – 180°C). This thickener is also suitable for the thermosol process. It is not recommended for premetalised and acid dyes. It displays excellent stability in presence of auxiliaries usually used in printing on synthetic except bi-or trivalent metallic salts. The thickener is compatible with disperse dyestuffs as well as with anionic and non-ionic products. It is especially suitable for the rotary printing process, due to its high grade purity. The excellent flow properties of CMT pest meet all requirements of the different printing machines. SOLUBILITY CMT08 is cold water soluble. The use of a high - speed stirrer or of a dissolving station is necessary to prevent the formation of lumps. After a swelling time of at least two hours, the stock thickener is ready for use. A longer swelling time of up to 12 hours will improve the flow properties and homogeneity. Dissolving in warm water or boiling is easily possible and provides an even better homogeneity of the stock paste. WASHABILITY Due to its special modification, can be washed off easily even after a previous superheated steam fixation. Perfect removal of the thickener is achieved resulting in a soft handle of the printed fabric and brilliant shades.
