The raw material of Heat Transfer film is
PET film ( the thickness is 19um/23um/36um/50um)
The heat transfer film of Sentien printing factory
almost applicated in plastic products, such as cosmetic containers, toys,
electrical appliances, building material, stationery, houseware..etc (general
plastics are available)
The heat transfer machine will adjust different
temperature and pressure according to difference products, then transfer the
ink of heat transfer film on the plastic products.
According to the appearance of products to adjust the transfer of temperature, pressure, speed.
The main transfer require the interactive
adjustment of these tree paraments and the quality of the fixture is also an
important key to the success of transfer.
The transfer temperature need higher than
injected raw plastic.
For explain PP material is 180 degrees Celsius, ABS is 200 degrees Celsius up) and the speed of transfer is also another important interactive adjustment.
According to the size of transfer plastic
and design.
2. the product will use transfer film for check the template (diecut size)
The heat transfer machine mainly uses a heated rubber wheel (plate) (usually cylindrical or flat) to form a high temperature condition on the transfer object.
And the direction of pressure of the rubber wheel (plate) needs to be in line contact with the transfer object or plane contact.
If it cannot be adhered to the transfer
object, the effective transfer effect cannot be achieved, so the non-planar
shape cannot be transferred.
For
metal need to warm up before transfer and also need to keep the high
temperature after transfer for some time.
