Thixoid® is a fine dry powder made from modified water-soluble polymers, primarily derived from Guar and Tamarind gums. It disperses and hydrates easily. In textile applications, it acts as a rheology modifier and thickener for the water phase in fabric printing pastes. Thixoid® ensures shear-stable rheology, good print definition, and effective dye fixation while maintaining fabric handle and shade quality.
