DESCRIPTION

POLI-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
• Vinyl with anti-sublimation or blockout properties (Poli-Patch-Blocksub / S901TSB) prevents the original colour of the garment from ‘sublimating’ and contaminating the colour of the vinyl.
• 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 Germain by Poli-Tape

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
• CFP Flex Liberty Patch vinyls are now manufactured by Poli-Tape. They are now called Poli-Patch: they are the same vinyls, only the name has changed

The name change from Liberty Patch by CFP Flex to Poli-Patch by Poli-Tape has not influenced the quality, characteristics and standards of the vinyls.
