Formaldehyde- and MEKO-free crosslinking agent for pigment printing.
ACRAFIX FF New 01 is a safer, more sustainable crosslinking agent used in pigment printing. It is based on aliphatic blocked polyisocyanates, which means it helps bind pigment colours to fabrics effectively without relying on hazardous chemicals (first). Unlike other crosslinkers, ACRAFIX FF New 01 is completely free of formaldehyde and butanonoxime (MEKO), two substances now recognized for their health and environmental risks. ACRAFIX FF New 01 delivers strong fastness and lasting durability while staying compliant with the current sustainability and safety standards.
As ACRAFIX FF is set to be phased out, we recommend transitioning to ACRAFIX FF New 01 to ensure continued performance and compliance.
