Denim Discharge Paste is a ready-to-use, water-soluble discharge ink specially formulated for achieving a white discharge or fading effect on indigo dyed denim fabrics. This paste provides a safer alternative to traditional Potassium Permanganate methods with reduced health and safety risks and no damage or degradation to denim fabric strength or softness. The paste can be applied through various printing methods including screen printing, spray, handcraft, and hand brushing, making it versatile for both manual and automatic printing setups. Its unique chemical composition allows selective deactivation of dyes on the fabric to reveal a lighter, whitish hue while preserving fabric quality, enabling high-quality, cost-effective denim bleaching with an eco-friendly profile. It is designed to deliver superior softness without fabric harm and supports easy handling and effective display results in industrial denim processing environments.

Denim Discharge Paste works best on indigo dyed denim and reactive dyes. Some dye colors like kelly green, purple, and royal blue may be more resistant, resulting in a muted discharged effect rather than a bright white discharge.
An 80-100 mesh screen is recommended for printing Denim Discharge Paste to achieve optimal discharge results and fabric coverage.
For best results, the printed fabric should be washed with the denim activator solution within 12 hours of printing to ensure proper discharge effect.
No, the paste is specifically formulated to avoid any degradation, fabric strength loss, or reduction in denim softness.
Store the paste below 35°C, away from direct sunlight, always keep the container lid tightly closed after use, and avoid mixing with other products to preserve efficacy and shelf life.
Yes, Denim Discharge Paste reduces health and safety risks commonly associated with Potassium Permanganate discharge techniques, making it safer to handle.

DESCRIPTION
Denim Discharge (Ink) Paste is a Ready-To-Use product to achieve a white discharge (fading) effect on indigo dyed denim fabrics with reduced health and safety issues compared to Potassium Permanganate, with no degradation of the fabric. The activator is what causes the dyes in the fabric to be deactivated. Printing a straight discharge ink typically ‘bleaches’ the indigo dyed denim fabric down to its natural color, a slightly off white. Discharge inks work well on fabric that is dyed with reactive dyes, although some dyes are more resistant than others, often those colors are in the kelly green, purple and royal blue families. When discharged, these resistant fabric dyes yield a more muted print that is usually a lighter tint of the base fabric color.
