Dyne Bind ZF 360 Zero Formaldehyde Binder for Pigment Digital Inks

23 September 2026: Dyne Chemicals LLP, based Gujarat is offering Dyne Bind ZF 360 as a zero formaldehyde binder for pigment printing and pigment digital ink work. ZF 300 and ZF 450 is made for sensitive applications, where colour, wash durability and fabric hand all sit on the binder, not only the pigment.

In pigment systems, colour particles do not dye the fibre. They sit on the surface, so the binder has to form a film that holds colour, survives washing, and still leaves the cloth flexible. That is why ink makers working on pigmented ink solutions spend as much time on polymer chemistry as they do on dispersion quality.

What Dyne Bind ZF 360 does

On Dyne’s textile binders catalogue, Dyne Bind ZF 360 sits in the zero formaldehyde group and is described as a safe, reliable grade for sensitive applications. Sister grades ZF 300 and ZF 450 sit in the same family, with ZF 300 tied to soft handle and durable pigment prints. The company’s homepage groups Bind ZF 450, 360 and 300 as zero formaldehyde binders that deliver strong adhesion, wash resistance and flexibility.

Colour, fastness and fabric hand

A Dyne product note says ZF 360 is meant for formulating pigment digital inks, and that it is designed to support high colour value, better fastness and wash durability, softness and flexibility, plus strong film integrity. The binder offered is skin-safe and odour-free, and points it at babywear, innerwear and other close-to-skin cloth. The live product listing only says “sensitive applications.”

Interest in this chemistry sits inside a wider shift toward digital textile printing inks, where mills want colour on more substrates with less wet processing. Binder choice is one of the levers for wash fastness and hand when pigment ink replaces a longer reactive-dye route.

GOTS, ZDHC and OEKO-TEX claims

Dyne’s product note says ZF 360 helps meet GOTS, ZDHC MRSL, OEKO-TEX and export-brand norms. Dyne’s about page is more careful: it says the company supports mills and brands with solutions aligned to GOTS, OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT and ZDHC MRSL. In a May 2025 update, partner Yash Patel told Screen Print India that 41 Dyne products were GOTS-approved and 44 were ZDHC MRSL Level 3 certified.
