Sublifix
Ajouter une image, un logo ou une marque sur une veste Softshell ou un vêtement de sport devrait réussir dès la première fois, sans risque de couleur qui transparaît ou migration de teinte. Par son bloqueur unique, le transfert Sublifix donne immédiatement les meilleurs résultats sans aucun risque de remontées pigmentaires.
Le Sportswear est souvent fabriqué à partir de techniques d’impression par sublimation, les encres étant ajoutées au tissu polyester pour un résultat optimal. Grâce à cette technique, le vêtement garde une grande légèreté et les coloris appliqués sont brillants et vifs.
Un inconvénient qui apparaît lors de l’application d’un transfert basique sur ce genre de vêtements, c’est le risque de la migration des encres.
Le transfert flexible de qualité Sublifix possède une couche supplémentaire de bloqueur évitant tout risque de remontée pigmentaire liée à la sublimation. De le cas où un transfert Flextrans ou Truflex ne peut être utilisé en raison de la migration de couleur, ce transfert est la solution idéale.
Sublifix garantit des couleurs intenses et des images haute-résolution. Ce transfert est disponible dans presque tous les coloris PMS ainsi que les coloris haute visibilité orange, vert, rouge, rose et jaune.

Description
Sublifix is a heat seal transfer that has been developed for application on polyester, and other fabrics with bleeding due to free dye stuff migration properties. This type of transfer is fitted with an additional dye blocking layer.
Thermopatch strongly recommends testing on textiles where migration of free dye stuff can be expected. Examples are dispersion dyed polyester soft shell fabrics with elastane, polyester mix textiles, or polyesters with prints made by dye sublimation techniques.
Sublifix transfers are compliant to Oeko Tex 100 Class 1, under certificate number 1110043 Centexbel.
Application
Silk screen printed transfers which are applied to textile or other heat sealable materials by heat and pressure for decoration or identification.
Properties
- Washable up to 40°C domesting washing and drying
- Anti migration blocking properties against bleeding from free dye stuff from textiles. Suitable for all textiles which allow the thermoplastic adhesive to penetrate and bind itself to it and which are resistant to its application temperatures.
Limitations of use
None, when washing instructions of the underlying textile are followed.
Physical properties
Various, depending on size.
Before sealing
Ensure that the to be marked textile is free of lint, dust, dirt and no seams, zipper, buttons etc. are near the place where the heat sealing will be performed.
Heat seal instructions
| Type | Temperature °C | Time seconds | Pressure kg/cm2* | Washing |
| Sublifix | 145 – 155 °C | 15 | 0,5 | 40 °C |
Position the Sublifix transfer with the glue side downwards, onto the garment. Close the heat seal press with the set temperature, time and pressure.
Remove the carrier directly after the machine opens up.
* Pre-heating of polyester or polyamide fabric is recommended, for 5 – 7 seconds at the set temperature, to remove shrinking of the textile by contact with the heating platen, which can damage any transfer. *Covering transfers with baking paper is recommended due to the risk of static cling to the heating plate due to the properties of polyester and polyamide and -mix fabrics.
* Good bonding can be prevented in pre-conditioned repelling fabric with DWR-coating. Re-sealing at the set temperatures for another 5 – 7 seconds, covered with baking paper or the removed carrier, can alleviate problems with adhesion on most repelling fabrics.
* 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 underplate. When using smaller underplates, decrease pressure to avoid damage to the transfers.
Sublifix has hot peel properties which means that the applied transfer foil can be peeled off almost immediately after opening the press. Leave the garment to cool down for a few seconds before taking it off the machine and peel off the polyester carrier foil.
