Aloe vera as an alternative natural thickening agent in the reactive dye printing / Siti Asiah Zainun

In this study an alternative natural thickening agent based on aloe vera gel was applied onto 100% cotton fabric and 100% silk fabric by screen printing technique using five type formulations of stock thickener. The formulations of stock thickener that were used are 100% aloe vera gel, 100% sodium a...
