TexTac is a water-based, pressure-sensitive adhesive designed for adhering textiles to pallets in the screen printing process. TexTac provides consistent registration without transferring to the garment. A single application may hold hundreds of garments before it is necessary to reapply.

Bottom Line: For nearly 20 years, TexTac has helped shops save money. Switching from aerosol spray tack to TexTac not only positively impacts your bottom line, it spares your lungs.
Label Update: In March of 2019 we updated the label from Image Mate to Chromaline. The product remains exactly the same.
How much did you spend on that press? And you're going to cover it with $8 spray adhesive???
Apply pallet paper to a clean pallet, apply a THIN layer of TexTac, flash dry it, then start printing.
Don't reapply every time - use a damp sponge to roll excess lint off of the adhesive. TexTac will stay bonded to the pallet tape and is re-exposed. Flash dry and keep printing. You might be able to repeat this all week before removing the pallet tape and applying another teaspoon of TexTac!

Best sticky we could find!
We were having consistency issues with the other water-based adhesive that we were using, so we set out to find a replacement. We tried every one that we could find. TexTac came out on top and we use it for every garment we print. It has been a staple in our shop for the last 2-3 years. Our supplier was recently bought out and stopped selling it so we came directly to the source.

TEXTAC - true game changer
About 12 years ago, when purchasing some used screen printing gear from a fellow screen printer an hour drive from me, the seller asked how we affix our garments to the placards on our press. when he heard we used just spray adhesive he insisted on sending us home with a chinese food container full of TEXTAC. i was skeptical. my skepticism immediately disappeared upon first use. easy to apply, quick drying, and able to reactive the tac with the greatest of ease.
we instantly purchased a gallon and here i am twelve years later finally having to purchase another gallon. and that is with printing jobs near every day in my shop. this product is almost too good. i am shocked they are still making it since reordering is so infrequently needed.
