DESCRIPTION

LIBERTY PATCH is a sublimation thermo-adhesive polyester film for heat textile transfer on light and dark cotton, polyester and their blends

• Printable on its textured side
• The vinyl is also available with anti-sublimation or blockout properties (S901TSB) which prevents the original garment colour from "sublimating" and contaminating the vinyl colour
• Can be cut with a plotter, scissors and a cutter
• Oeko-Tex Standard 100 class I certifies that the raw materials used are environmentally friendly, free of PVC, solvents, plasticisers and heavy metals
• Made in France by CFP Flex

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• For small designs and/or with details it may be convenient to use a high tack application tape (PT 850), which you will find in Related Products
• When using a carrier sheet you must remember that, since it is made of polyester, some of the ink may remain on it due to resublimation. To avoid this, we recommend pressing it for a short time (2-3 seconds), removing the carrier from the vinyl, and pressing it again
• After printing the vinyl with sublimation ink, it should be left to dry. Transfer it to the garment once the ink is dry to the touch
• In the case of nylon, it is advisable to test beforehand

COMPARISON TABLE

SUBLIMATION SETTINGS

CANVAS (S901T), NONWOVEN (S903T), TWILL (S904T) and ANTI-SUBLIMATION CANVAS (S901TSB)

• Temperature: 190 °C
• Pressure: 5.0 - 6.0 bar [very high pressure]
• Time: 50 seconds 
• Hot peel

SATIN TWILL (S902T)

• Temperature: 170 °C
• Pressure: 1.0 - 2.0 bar [low pressure]
• Time: 80 seconds 
• Hot peel
• Important: before sublimating, preheat the press platens. Press at 170ºC for 30 seconds without anything on it. This way the lower platen will reach the same temperature as the upper platen and the heat distribution will be more even

TRANSFER PARAMETERS

• Temperature: 150 °C
• Pressure: 2.5 - 3.0 bar [medium pressure]
• Time: 20 seconds
