DESCRIPTION

To apply the foil, you must first print the design as an adhesive base using the technique explained below.

• It can be applied on textiles and on rigid surfaces that can withstand heat
• Ø3.9 cm (32 cm x 1 m roll) and Ø2.5 cm (32 cm x 12 m roll) cardboard core or tube
  

POLI-MELT HOT-MELT FILMS

Double-sided heat-activated adhesive films. Suitable for adhering foil on cotton, polyester and their blends (Turbo 4900) and nylon (Nylon 701).

Here is how to use them:

TURBO 4900

• Cut the film with the design in mirror mode or to the size of the patch to adhere
• Peel off the heat-adhesive film, discarding the transparent part that does not cover the design. This way, only the clear layer with the shape of the design will remain on the liner
• Pre-press the garment for 3-4 seconds to remove wrinkles and dampness
• Place the film on the garment where you want to apply the adhesive and cover it with protective paper
• Press at 130ºC (5 seconds), 150ºC (4 seconds) or 160ºC (3 seconds), medium pressure
• Hot peel the protective paper and liner
• Place the foil with the coloured side facing upwards on the applied hot-melt foil
  
• Press at 130ºC (5 seconds), 150ºC (4 seconds) or 160ºC (3 seconds), medium pressure
• If you have used foil or flock, cold peel it with a smooth and continuous movement

NYLON 701

• Preheat the press to 145-155ºC
• Cut the film with the design in mirror mode or to the size of the patch to adhere
• Peel off the heat-adhesive film, discarding the transparent part that does not cover the design. This way, only the clear layer with the shape of the design will remain on the liner
• Pre-press the garment for 3-4 seconds to remove wrinkles and dampness
• Place the film on the garment where you want to apply the adhesive and cover it with protective paper
• Press for 15-18 seconds, medium pressure
• Hot peel the protective paper and liner
• Place the foil with the coloured side facing upwards on the applied hot-melt foil
• Press at 145-155ºC for 15-18 seconds, medium pressure
• If you have used foil or flock, cold peel it with a smooth and continuous movement

SCREEN PRINTING

You can use the plastisol foil adhesive (Ref. 040431 and Ref. 040252) to transfer the metallic foil onto any textile garment with the screen printing technique. This adhesive base is a ready-to-use paste.

Here’s how to use it:

1. Load the adhesive onto the screen and swipe the squeegee twice
2. Pre-dry with a heat gun or a flash dryer
3. Repeat these steps 1 more time
4. Put the foil with the coloured face up and over it an unexposed screen
5. Cure for 90 s at 160ºC. You can use a heat press, a flash cure unit or an oven
6. Allow your foil to cool properly before peeling
