PVC Flex - Heat transfer film for fabric

 

Description

 

PVC flex is a material used for designs that are computer cut and heat transferred to fabric.

 

PVC flex is suitable for use where delicate designs and small lettering are required, but the backing film is non-sticky. PVC Flex provides good flexibility and durability while it shows no transformation by expansion and shrinking after applied onto garments. It is silicon treated for easy release from the backing film.

 

PVC flex is washable and suitable for dry cleaning and can be used on cotton, mixtures of polyester/cotton and polyester/acrylic or similar textiles. Not suitable for treated and dyed garments.

 

How to Use PVC Flex

 

1. Cut your design in reverse (mirror image) using a vinyl cutter.
2. Weed out the excess flex.
3. Place your design in position on your fabric.
4. * Heat press with medium pressure for 10-15 secs at a temperature between 150°C - 160°C.
5. Remove polyester backing film while it is warm.
