Tips for the use
The application of these products can be divided into four phases essential:
- Overlapping the film on the support to ennoble trying not to form tensions between the film and the support;
- Transfer of the adhesive with the termic process under pressure.
Remember that the transfer’s parameters (temperature, pressure and time) can vary depending on the application method and supports.
In principle, we can give you the following parameters of application by us tested but to be verified by you according to your technologies and your supports:
TEMPERATURE FOR APPLICATION ON FABRIC: 120/140° C
TEMPERATURE FOR APPLICATION ON LEATHER AND/OR SYNTHETIC: 100/120° C
PRESSURE: 3KG/cm²
TIME: 10/15 SECONDS - Energetic cooling.
- Detachment of the polyester’s support not less then 24 hours after the coupling in order to get a high index of brilliance of the finished product.
