Aloe veragel: a new thickening agent for pigment printing

Abstract: An attempt was made to print cotton fabric with pigments using a new thickening agent based on Aloe vera gel in combination with sodium alginate. The results were compared with the standard conventional printing recipe containing synthetic thickener, and a favourable effect of Aloe vera introduction was achieved. The results show that the properties of the printed fabric (sharpness, colour yield, overall fastness properties, softness, and water vapour transmission) are dependent on the percentage of Aloe vera … Show more

“…Mordants can link to hair protein by more than one such dative bond, which leads to the formation of a stable complex. Aloe vera gel containing polysaccharides and water is effective as a natural mordant and also as a cosmetic ingredient that nourishes dehydrated aged skin and photodamaged hair [14,24]. Mordant agents form an insoluble compound that fixes pigments to hair [22].…”

“…[11,26,27] Aloe vera gel can be used in combination with sodium alginate as a thickener to suit printing cotton fabric with reactive dyes. [29][30][31] Aloe gel has a potential of changing the property of disperse dye to have good interaction with cotton. [33] Aloe vera possesses antifungal, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties, so aloe vera gel can be used as an alternative to synthetic antimicrobial agents.…”

“…A successful print involves correct color, sharpline, levelness, good hand, and efficient use of dye; all these factors depend on the type of thickener used. [29] Thickening agents usually high molecular weight polymeric substances that give the necessary viscosity of the color printing paste under high pressure, without distortion. Textile thickeners either natural (e.g., Arabic gum, guar gum, alginate, starch, etc.)…”

“…It was possible to add only the hyaluronic acid (N14-C), aloe vera gel (N14-E), and the combination of both ingredients (N14-G) to the nanoemulsion recipe (Table 2). This is probably due to the fact that hyaluronic acid and aloe vera gel could additionally act as agents that thicken the aqueous phase and create a steric barrier [64]. As reported in the literature, water-soluble polysaccharides are frequently employed as texture modifiers, e.g., thickening agents or gelling agents.…”
