Classifications Of KingJet DTF Hot Melt Powder

DTF powder (Direct to Film Powder) is the core consumable in the DTF (Direct to Film) printing process, usually made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or other polymers in the form of fine particles.

Its core function is to evenly spread on the printed transfer film, melt it after heating, and build a permanent adhesive layer between the printed pattern and the fabric, ensuring that the pattern is accurately transferred from the DTF PET transfer film to the textile fabric.

KingJet offers a wide variety of DTF powders, including white DTF powder, black DTF powder, fine DTF powder, and medium DTF powder, to meet your various textile printing needs.

Anti-Sublimation White DTF Powder

  • Particle size: 100-200μm
  • Features: A specially formulated powder containing activated carbon to prevent sublimation after heat pressing. It effectively prevents sublimation and bleeding of dark or dyed fabrics at high temperatures, ensuring the purity and brightness of the white ink layer.
  • Heat pressing temperature: 160°C for 6 seconds, with pressure set to four or above.
  • Applications: Suitable for dark polyester, sportswear, jerseys, and other fabrics prone to sublimation.

Anti-Sublimation Black DTF Powder

  • Particle size: 80-170μm
  • Features: A specially formulated powder containing activated carbon to prevent sublimation after heat pressing. It shields against dye sublimation, avoiding the base color from showing through and enhancing pattern contrast.
  • Heat pressing temperature: 160°C for 6 seconds, with pressure set to four or higher.
  • Applications: Commonly used on dark polyester, black, or dark-colored base fabrics, especially for sportswear and workwear.

The Importance of DTF Powder in DTF Textile Printing

1. Ensuring Adhesion

  • DTF powder is the bridge between DTF ink and fabric. Without powder, ink cannot directly adhere to the fabric.
  • After the powder melts, a strong bonding layer is formed to prevent the pattern from falling off easily.

2. Enhance Durability

  • High-quality DTF powder ensures that the print remains intact after repeated washing and stretching, without cracking or fading.
  • Suitable for applications requiring high abrasion resistance, such as sportswear and workwear.

3. Improving Hand Feel and Elasticity

  • Different particle sizes of DTF powder can affect the softness and elasticity of printing.
  • DTF fine powder is suitable for fine patterns and has a softer hand feel, while DTF medium powder is more abrasion-resistant and suitable for denim or bags.

4. Enhancing Print Quality

  • DTF powder can make patterns more vibrant in color and have clearer edges.
  • Choosing the appropriate powder types can significantly improve t-shirt printing quality.
