The application of sublimation heat transfer technology in textile
The application of sublimation heat transfer technology in textile.
Description
Sublimation heat transfer technology was originated in 1930s and popular among Europe, America, Japan in 1970s . From the analysis of its history, it was shown that its development was ambiguity. Sublimation heat transfer technology is popular in China. Because of its advantages of less investment, non-pollution, resources-saving and good printing effect, China’s government pays close attention to sublimation heat transfer technology. Nowadays, sublimation heat transfer technology is listed on the State Economic and Trade Commission key industries cleaner production technology oriented directory, which shows a bright future in China.
The principle of sublimation heat transfer technology
sublimation heat transfer technology is a printing process which prints special dyes on the transfer papers and then transfer the pattern to the surface of materials by pressure and heating. In details, the process principle is based on the characteristics of disperse dye sublimation, with temperature 180~240 ℃, and according to different pattern / design requirements, the slurry mixed color ink. The printed pattern, pattern transfer paper closely contact with the fabric. The heat press print the fabric for about 10~30s to color on the surface of materials.
The features of sublimation heat transfer technology
1. Good effect. The effect of sublimation heat transfer technology in textile is exquisite pattern, colorful, rich and clear arrangement, three-dimensional, which can be made by other transfer technology. What’s more sublimation heat transfer technology can print pattern of photography and painting.
2. Soft and long service life. The biggest feature of sublimation heat transfer technology is that the dyes can be diffused into polyester or fiber which can make soft printing effect. In addition, the ink will be dried during printing. Therefore, the service life of pattern is the same as the textile.
3. Simple handicraft, flexible and efficient. Sublimation heat transfer technology can print customized pattern in specific time one time without second hand.
Resources-saving and environmental friendly. Being different from traditional printing technology, sublimation heat transfer technology do not need to steam and wash, which is water-saving, non-pollution, resources-saving and environment friendly to a large extent.
