Hot Melt Powder

Product Details:

A 10kg bag of hot melt powder is commonly used in DTF (Direct to Film) printing, where it acts as an adhesive to transfer printed designs onto various fabrics. The powder is applied to the wet ink on the DTF film, then melted with heat to create a durable bond between the ink and the fabric. 

Product Details:

A 5kg bag of hot melt powder is primarily used in DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing for bonding designs to textiles. It acts as an adhesive, melting under heat and pressure to secure the printed design onto the fabric. This powder is crucial for creating durable and vibrant prints on various materials like T-shirts, bags, and other apparel. 

Product Details:

A 5kg bag of hot melt powder is commonly used in textile and garment printing, particularly in Direct to Film (DTF) printing, as a bonding agent to adhere the printed design to the fabric. It's also used in heat transfer printing, heat transfer pastes, flocking pastes, and bronzing pastes. 

Product Details:

DTF Hot Melt Powder (short for Direct-to-Film Hot Melt Adhesive Powder) is a critical component in the DTF printing process, which is a method used to transfer designs onto fabrics, especially textiles like cotton, polyester, and blends.

🔍 What is DTF Hot Melt Powder?

It's a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) powder that acts as the adhesive in the DTF printing workflow. After printing a design on a PET film using DTF inks, this powder is applied to the printed area. When heat is applied, the powder melts and bonds the ink to the fabric.

🔧 How It Works (DTF Process Overview):

1. Design Printing:

   • Print your design on a special PET film using DTF ink (CMYK + white).

2. Powder Application:

   • While the ink is still wet, sprinkle the DTF hot melt powder onto the printed film.

   • Shake off the excess powder.

3. Curing:

   • Heat the powder-coated film using a curing oven or heat press (without pressure), typically at 100–160°C (212–320°F) for 2–5 minutes, depending on the powder type.

4. Heat Transfer:

   • Place the cured film onto your garment.

   • Press using a heat press (usually 160–180°C or 320–356°F for 10–15 seconds).

5. Cold Peel:

   • Allow the film to cool down before peeling it off.
