Superhold Powders

Print Info / Get Quote / MSDS

Lancer's Superhold hot melt powders are heat activated adhesives that can be used for virtually any textile application requiring a heat applied system. When the powder is applied to transfers, this greatly increases the washability of the product and the adhesion to garments made of synthetic textile fabric. All Superhold Powders are available in 1.1 lb (500g) shaker can, 6.6 lb (3kg) or 22 lb (10kg) container.

COMPONENTS

H-1: A medium grind hot melt powder. Melts quickly - ideal where fast application is required (i.e. plastisol or water based puff transfers).

H-10: Superhold, very fine grind hot melt powder. Ideal for extremely fine detailed transfers. Fine lines won't get lost or pulled off.

H-15: Extremely coarse grind hot melt powder. Used primarily for covering large areas such as crests. Large particle size makes this powder easy to handle, providing a good bond for heat seal crests.

H-23: Multi-grind formula ideal for flock transfers.

C57 - Multi Grind Formula: C57 has a very soft hand feel and excellent stretch.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Heat Transfers: Sprinkle Superhold Powder or C57 Multigrind onto the wet ink, shake off excess and heat cure. (Use Superhold H-15, H-10 or C57)

Crests: Sprinkle powder onto back of crest and heat cure until adhesive is melted. (Use H-1 or H-10)

Flock Transfers: Sprinkle Superhold Powder onto wet adhesive, shake off excess and air dry. After drying brush off excess and heat cure. (Use H-23)

Puff Transfers - Plastisol or Water Based: Sprinkle Superhold Powder or C57 onto wet ink, shake off excess and heat cure at low temperature or if water based let air dry. (Use H-1 or C57)

841 Printable Adhesive

841 Printable Adhesive is designed for producing puff heat transfers. 841 Printable Adhesive will eliminate the need for powders. 841 Adhesive has a very soft hand feel and good elongation.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Mesh Count: 80-125/inch (36T-57T cm).

Puff Transfers: Print 841 Adhesive over the whole puff transfer image slightly overlapping the puff ink.

Curing: Gel the 841 Adhesive at the same condition as the puff ink so as not to puff the ink on the paper. Puff Transfers always perform better when they are not puffed or beginning to puff on paper.

To produce high opacity heat transfers, screen print 500/550 Series or 900/950 Series Excalibur Inks onto a cold peel release heat transfer paper. Overprint entire area with 842 Adhesive.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Screen Mesh: 842 Adhesive: 32-60/inch(13T-24T cm). Plastisol: 60-110/inch (24T-44T cm).

Curing: Gel but do not fully cure the adhesive. Final cure occurs at time of transfer.

Paper: T-75 or Litho Trans.

Transfers: Transfer at 350°F(177°C) for 10-15 seconds using medium pressure.

FT87 Flock Adhesive is part of a complete system for creating flock transfers. It can be tinted for opacity using Aqua Series® Water Based Color Concentrate. Any water based stencil will work. NOTE: This product must be used with Superhold Powders.

888 Series - Stretchback

Print Info / Get Quote / MSDS

888 Series is a single step transfer backing that can be used as a backing for screen printed, four color process heat transfers. Stretch Back allows the designs to be printed on dark backgrounds. It will stretch & retract, avoid cracking and has a very soft hand feel. 888 Series is available in Phthalate Free.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Procedure: 888 Stretchback is to be used as a last color backing on 4 color process transfers. 888 Stretchback is very opaque, so it allows transferring 4 color process heat transfers onto dark fabrics.

Screen Mesh: 888 should be printed through mesh counts of 40-86inch (16T-34T cm).

Aquabond® Water Based Adhesive

Print Info / Get Quote / MSDS

Aquabond is a new water-based hot melt, screen printable adhesive that does not require messy or time consuming powders. Aquabond Adhesive is a one-part adhesive and is the best choice for doing flock heat transfers. Aquabond Adhesive can be used as an adhesive for most types of transfers and fabrics.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Screen Mesh: 30 to 110inch (10T to 44T cm). Individual tests should be conducted to determine the thickness of adhesive required for particular application.

Stencil: Water resistant direct emulsion must be used.

Drying: Aquabond Adhesive should be dried by air or through a hot air dryer. The ideal method for drying or curing Aquabond is as follows: 1) allow all the water to evaporate from the Aquabond print. 2) heat cure the dried print through a conveyor dryer at 320°F (160°C) until the Aquabond melts and forms a film.

Retarder: If ink is drying too fast in the screen and causing screen blocking, Aqualife retarder may be added to slow down the drying time. Normally up to 5% addition of Aqualife retarder will be adequate.

Cleanup: Wash with water immediately after screen printing. Mild Soap may also be used.

843 Caviar Bead Adhesive

Print Info / Get Quote / MSDS

843 Caviar Bead Adhesive forms a very strong bond between the fabric of a garment and the caviar beads. This adhesive is extremely easy to use. Simply screen print 843 Caviar Bead Adhesive onto a garment, sprinkle on the caviar beads and cure. When properly cured, 843 will resist cracking and be very washable. Works with plastic beads only - not glass beads.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Screen Mesh: 80/inch (32T cm).

Stencil: For the best results, a heavy deposit of 843 Caviar Bead Adhesive is required. We recommend a stencil of 200 to 300 micron thickness.

Applying Caviar Beads: After screen printing, lightly sprinkle on the caviar beads or pass the garment through a tray of beads. NOTE: The ink (843 Caviar Bead adhesive) must be wet at this point. When applied, the caviar beads will stick to the wet 843.

Curing: The print must be heat cured at 320°F (160°C) until the entire thickness of the ink film is cured. The cured print should stretch and retract without breaking or cracking. If the print cracks, it is a sign of under cure and the print must be cured at a longer time or a hotter temperature (or sometimes both).

846/847 High Stretch Adhesive

Print Info / Get Quote / MSDS

846/847 Adhesive has very high stretch characteristics and has a very strong bond to fabrics. 846/847 is ideal for tagless label transfers and athletic transfers. 846 is a clear adhesive and 847 is a white ahesive to be used for applications requiring greater opacity.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Screen Mesh: 80/inch (32T cm) to 120/inch (48T cm).

Printing: 846/847 High Stretch Adhesive should completely cover the printed image. 846/847 should only be partially gelled and NOT fully cured.

Heat Transferring: 846/847 will transfer at temperatures from 300°F to 390°F (149°C to 199°C). At lower temperature ranges, the appropriate time should be around 12 - 15 seconds. At higher temperature ranges, the curing time should be around 4 - 7 seconds.
