DTF Adhesive Hot Melt Powder

What is DTF Adhesive Hot Melt Powder?

Direct-to-Film (DTF) adhesive hot melt powder is an essential component in the DTF printing process, used to create durable, high-quality prints that bond strongly with the fabric. This powder, applied on the printed DTF film, acts as a heat-activated adhesive that ensures the printed design adheres perfectly to various fabric types.

Why Choose DTF Adhesive Hot Melt Powder?

Our high-performance DTF adhesive powder offers exceptional benefits for any fabric-printing project:

  1. Strong Adhesion: Ensures the design adheres tightly to fabrics, enhancing the longevity and durability of prints.
  2. Soft Texture: Creates a smooth and soft feel on the fabric, providing comfort without compromising the print’s quality.
  3. Versatility: Suitable for various fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends, making it ideal for different apparel items.
  4. Enhanced Washability: Resists wear and tear, extending the lifespan of the printed design even after multiple washes.

The DTF Adhesive Hot Melt Powder Process

  1. Print Design on PET Film: The DTF process begins by printing the design onto a DTF PET film. Specialized inks for DTF printing are used to ensure vibrant colors and a sharp, high-definition look.

  2. Apply DTF Adhesive Powder: After printing, a layer of DTF adhesive hot melt powder is evenly applied over the wet ink on the PET film. This powder, when heated, will bond the design securely to the fabric.

  3. Curing Process: The DTF powder on the PET film is heat cured, typically using a heat press or curing oven. This step solidifies the powder and prepares it for transfer onto the fabric.

  4. Heat Transfer to Fabric: The prepared PET film is placed on the fabric, with the design facing down. Using a heat press, the adhesive powder is reactivated, binding the design to the material.

  5. Peel and Finish: After the film cools, it is carefully peeled off, leaving the high-quality design firmly adhered to the fabric.
