• It can be applied at low temperature. This fact avoids the colour of the T-shirt to contaminate the colour of the vinyl
• Suitable for heat press and domestic iron
• The liner is a self-adhesive PET (polyester) film that acts as a carrier
• The 25-metre rolls have a Ø7.5 cm cardboard core
• The raw materials are ecologically inert, do not contain PVC, plasticizers or heavy metals and are certified in accordance with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I
• Made in Germany by Poli-Tape
