DESCRIPTION

TRANSFLOCK is a heat transfer film for monochrome transfers with a velvety finish.

• Transfers the design without leaving unwanted flock fibres on the fabric
• Possibility to speed up production using a screen printing machine
• Velvety soft touch, similar to peach texture
• The liner is a paper film (black and white) or polyester film (all other colours) that acts as a carrier
• Made in France by Sef Laval

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• A heat press and sometimes a cutting plotter are required for general use
• As this is a surface finish, we recommend carrying out washing and resistance tests
• Time and temperature parameters may vary depending on the fabric

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCREEN PRINTING

You can use the plastisol flock adhesive to transfer foil onto any textile garment with the screen printing technique. Two-component base. It is necessary to mix it with a catalyst to apply it (Ref. 048950).

Here is how to use it:

• Spray temporary adhesive on the table of your screen printing machine and place the T-shirt
• Put the amount of adhesive you need in a bottle and add between 1% and 3% of catalyst. Mix well
• Spread the mixture on the screen and apply using a squeegee
• Slowly lift the screen and dry the adhesive with the help of a flash dryer or heat gun
• Repeat these steps if you think it needs more adhesive and re-dry the adhesive
• Remove the T-shirt from the machine and place it on the press
• Cut out a piece of flock film and place it on the garment with the flocked side over the adhesive
• Cover with protective paper
• Press at 185 ºC for 50 seconds
• Cold peel the foil

APPLICATION INSTRUCTION FOR POLI-MELT HOT-MELT FILMS

Double-sided hot melt adhesive films. Available for bonding flock on cotton, polyester and their blends (Turbo 4900) and nylon fabrics (Nylon 701).

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 flock film with the velvety coloured side down on the hot-melt film applied to the garment
• 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 flock film with the velvety coloured side down on the hot-melt film applied to the garment
