pu htv vinyl
PU HTV vinyl, or Polyurethane Heat Transfer Vinyl, represents a significant advancement in garment customization technology. This specialized material consists of a polyurethane layer backed by a carrier sheet, designed specifically for transferring designs onto fabrics through heat application. The material features a unique composition that allows for exceptional durability while maintaining a soft, flexible feel that seamlessly integrates with the base fabric. Its advanced adhesive properties ensure strong bonding at lower temperatures compared to traditional vinyl materials, typically requiring only 280-320°F for successful application. The PU HTV vinyl's molecular structure enables it to penetrate fabric fibers effectively, creating a lasting bond that withstands multiple wash cycles without peeling or cracking. This versatile material works exceptionally well on various fabric types, including cotton, polyester, cotton-poly blends, and even some synthetic materials. Its precision-cut capability makes it ideal for both simple and intricate designs, while its thin profile ensures that the final product maintains a professional, retail-quality appearance without the heavy, stiff feel associated with older vinyl technologies.
