Heat transfer technology is a new technology that firstly images are printed on the heat resisting paper, and then the images are transferred to the surface of materials by high temperature and pressure. Although there are many color on the paper, working time can be shortened to reduce the wrong printed materials because it is just a process. Heat transfer vinyl can print multicolor pattern one time without second-printing.
Heat transfer vinyl is a widely used decorative material which consists of polyethylene film as the substrate layer, stripping film, protective layer, patter layer and hot melt adhesive layer. Under high temperature and pressure, silicon roller imposes temperature and pressure on the transfer film in order to separate transfer layer from polyethylene film to transfer images to the surface of materials. The finished materials feature in wear resisting, heat resisting and light resisting, novel and beautiful pattern, stable tonal.
To use heat transfer vinyl successfully in reality, graceful images with good detachment and thermal succession should be prepared. By the middle of 90s, domestic market began to follow the production of anodized aluminum to produce heat transfer vinyl. But it can figure out the production technology and reach the requirement of foreign heat transfer vinyl quality even though it can generate good transfer effect. With effort of companies, domestic market innovates new formulation and process of coating, especially in the combination of release layer and protective layer. The new innovation not only can shorten production process, improve efficiency and quality and reduce cost, but also can improve thermal fracture, scratch resistance, weather resistance and printability of heat transfer vinyl. Because of the differences of quality, service of individual images, the new innovation is received the recognition and application from many world brand. Also, it is exported to foreign countries, such as Japan, America, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia and Western Asia.
