Eco-Friendly Chemicals in Screen Printed Clothing
When you’re looking for screen printed clothing in the UK, quality and sustainability matter just as much as design. Behind every premium print is a process that relies on the right chemicals. At Vektor, we use low-fume, eco-friendly solutions that not only improve the finish of your garments but also reduce environmental impact.
Why Chemicals Matter in Screen Printed Clothing
Chemicals are an unseen but vital part of producing custom printed clothing. They are used to:
- Prepare and clean screens before printing
- Remove emulsion for screen reclaim
- Ensure inks adhere properly to fabric
- Maintain consistency across large print runs
Choosing the right chemicals means sharper detail, longer-lasting prints, and safer conditions for the people making your clothing.
Safer, Low-Fume Chemicals for Better Clothing
Traditional screen printing often relied on strong solvents and harsh cleaners. These created health risks for printers and released unnecessary fumes into the environment.
At Vektor, we’ve invested in low-fume, eco-friendly chemicals. This ensures that every T-shirt, hoodie, or piece of screen printed merch is produced responsibly and with long-term quality in mind.
The Role of Screen Reclaim
A huge part of sustainable printing is screen reclaiming. After each job, our team uses safe chemicals to strip screens of old emulsion and inks, allowing them to be reused again and again.
This process cuts down on waste and ensures that every new run of screen printed clothing in the UK starts with a fresh, perfectly clean screen — giving sharper detail and more consistent results.
Why Eco-Friendly Chemicals Improve Your Clothing
The chemicals we use don’t just make life easier for printers. They directly improve the clothing you receive:
- Cleaner detail - no ghosting or residue left behind
- Consistent quality - every garment in the run looks the same
- Durability - prints stay strong through multiple washes
- Sustainability - better for the environment and your brand image
