Description
DIGINK DTF Hot Melt Powder – Superior Bond. Soft Finish. Wash-Tested Performance.
The quality of a DTF transfer is only as good as the powder behind it. DIGINK Hot Melt Powder is a precision-engineered TPU adhesive powder that delivers strong, durable bonding with a soft, flexible hand feel, on every fabric, in every wash.
Strong Adhesion Across All Fabrics
Formulated for universal compatibility, DIGINK powder bonds firmly to cotton, polyester, nylon, rayon, blends, and more. Designed to resist cracking, peeling, and delamination under regular use, it meets the performance demands of activewear, fashion garments, workwear, and accessories alike.
Soft, Flexible Finish
Many adhesive powders produce stiff, plasticky transfers. DIGINK DTF Hot Melt Powder is optimised to create a soft, breathable, flexible finish that moves naturally with the fabric producing transfers that feel as good as they look.
Dye Migration and Bleed Resistance
DIGINK DTF Hot Melt Powder is a white powder formulated to resist dye migration and bleeding on dark or dyed fabrics. On polyester, sportswear, and other fabrics prone to bleed at high temperatures, it maintains the purity and brightness of the white ink layer, keeping your colours true and your whites clean after pressing.
Wash Resistance
DIGINK DTF Hot Melt Powder achieves Grey Scale Rating 4–4.5 at 40°C/104°F wash and 4.5–5 for dry cleaning, exceeding industry standards for high-end apparel. For intensive-use applications such as workwear and uniforms, it maintains integrity at higher wash temperatures, making it equally suitable for industrial and consumer garments.
Consistent Performance
Particle size of 80–170 µm ensures even distribution across the printed surface, with a melting point of 110-115 °C/230-239°F for reliable curing at standard press settings. Fast and consistent activation means shorter cycle times and fewer reprints.
