Discharge Agent is the activating component for discharge printing. This agent must be used in combination with the DSPS Discharge Binder/Base in order for discharging to take place. Discharge Agent comes in a crystal/powder form and is sold and shipped by the pound.

To activate discharge, mix agent into discharge at about 6-10% of the discharge binder/base. Discharge Agent has an unpleasant odor and should be handled carefully in its crystal form then blended into the ink by a properly trained employee. Always blend the ZFS slowly until it is well mixed in the ink to prevent dust, ZFS is relatively safe once in solution.

We recommend using a gram scale for optimal mixing performance.
