Description
Starlight is a Flextrans based transfer, printed on a reflective carrier foil which gives the reflective properties after heat sealing the transfers on textile. Due to the added reflective properties the stretching ability is limited. Starlight is compliant to Oekotex 100, class I, under certificate number 1110043 Centexbel.
Application
Because of its flexibility, Starlight transfers are ideal for sportswear, Lycra garments and various other fabrics with a stretch. It is not especially developed for workwear applications. For workwear we refer to Truflex as the transfer of choice.
Properties
Starlight is wash resistant up to 40 °C mild coloured home washing (due to glass beads for reflection). Suitable for all textiles which allow the thermoplastic adhesive to penetrate and bind itself to it and which are resistant to its application temperatures.
Physical properties
Various, depending on size.
Limitations of use
None, when care label instructions of the underlying textile are followed. Please note: Starlight is not suitable for industrial laundry processes.
Before sealing
Ensure that the to be marked textile is free of lint, dust, dirt. No seams, zippers, buttons etc. should be near the location where the heat sealing will be performed.
Remark: Good bonding can be prevented in pre-conditioned fabrics with a dirt or water repellant coating such as fluor carbon finishes or flame retardant finishes.
Heat seal instructions
| Type | Temperature °C | Time seconds | Pressure kg/cm2* | Washing |
| Starlight (cold peel) | 150°C | 15 | 0,5 | 40 °C |
Make sure that the sealing plate of the machine is clean and undamaged. Position the Starlight transfer with the glue side downwards, onto the garment. Close the heat seal press with the set temperature, time and pressure.
* For an optimal heat sealing result we advise to set the pressure on any large platen pneumatic heat seal press to 3-5 bar on the pressure regulator of the machine, when using the standard issued underplaten. When using smaller underplatens, decrease pressure to avoid damage to the transfers.
- Preferably leave the garment to cool down for a few seconds so the heated glue can set,before taking it off the machine and peeling off the polyester carrier foil
- Pre-sealing can amend problems with adhesion on certain repelling or flame retardant coated textiles
- Re-sealing, with baking paper covering the transfer, for another 7-10 seconds is recommended for an optimal heat sealing result.
