dtf powder
DTF (Direct to Film) powder is an innovative printing material that has revolutionized the textile printing industry. This specialized adhesive powder is essential in the DTF transfer process, creating a strong bond between the printed design and fabric. The powder consists of hot melt polyurethane particles that, when heated, form a durable and flexible adhesive layer. It features a carefully calibrated particle size distribution that ensures optimal coverage and adhesion properties. The powder activates at specific temperature ranges, typically between 160-180°C, creating a molecular bond with both the printed film and textile fibers. This advanced formulation allows for excellent wash resistance, maintaining design integrity even after multiple washing cycles. The powder is compatible with various fabric types, including cotton, polyester, blended materials, and even challenging substrates like nylon and leather. Its application process involves even distribution over wet ink prints, followed by heat curing to achieve permanent adhesion. The powder's unique properties enable vibrant color reproduction and maintain the fabric's natural feel without creating a stiff, plastic-like surface.
