DESCRIPTION
POLI-FLEX TURBO is an ecologically proven cast PU (polyurethane) film with anti-sublimation or blockout properties for textile transfer.
- 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
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
- Can be cut with any current plotter We recommend using a standard 45º knife
- If you use a Silhouette cutting plotter, apply the following parameters: blade 3, speed 5, and pressure 10
- It is recommended to test on textiles with a water-repellent coating to check that the vinyl adheres to the fabric
