Permatone - the perfect colour matching system for trade professionals

Picture
Permatone is a water-based 100% solvent free textile ink, designed for direct wet-on-wet printing on a wide range of natural and synthetic fabrics. Heat cured, the unique formula offers an unsurpassed balance of colour brightness, softness and durability to wash, rub and dry-clean, eliminating the need for additives. Permatone also has excellent screen stability allowing exceptional screen open time. 

Permatone has a matching system which is PANTONE® approved enabling the system to produce simulations of the 950 PANTONE® colours. 

As a water-based product, equipment is easily cleaned with water. After heat fixing, prints exhibit excellent wash, rub and dry-clean resistance. 

Permaset Permatone has recently been granted Approval by the Soil Association in the UK, having successfully met the requirements of the Global Organic Textiles Standards (GOTS) for non-organic chemical inputs for use in organic textile processing.

The products covered by the Approval include the Permatone colour matching range: Permatone Black, Permatone Blue, Permatone Extender, Permatone Green, Permatone Magenta, Permatone Orange, Permatone Red B/S Carmine, Permatone Red Y/S Scarlet, Permatone Violet, Permatone White, Permatone Yellow G/S Primrose and Permatone Yellow R/S Golden Yellow plus SuperCover First Down White. 


Textile printers wishing to declare themselves ‘organic’ would need to be using inks that have successfully met the requirements of a standard such as the Global Organic Textiles Standard (GOTS) for inputs used in certified organic textile processing.
