THERMOFIX adhesive fibres

Speeds up Appliqué Work Significantly.

Cutting out, ironing-on – that’s all there is to it. By using THERMOFIX, it is easy and fast to affix embroidery designs onto jackets, shirts and fabrics. Permanently - even after frequent washings! THERMOFIX is just like a nonwoven that consists of adhesive fibres. It is ironed onto the finished embroidery design after the embroidery process. Then the emblem is placed onto the desired spot of your fabric and has to be permanently fixed either with a household iron or a heat press.

But there is even more to THERMOFIX than making fast and easy appliqués: It is the perfect solution for very small and tricky areas where fixation by machine is simply impossible. Also great for fusing edges and for seaming!

Main Applications:

Adhesive fibres for permanent bonding of appliqués, patches and emblems.
For permanently fusing edges and for seaming

Usage tipps:

THERMOFIX - Adhesive Fibres for Permanent Bonding

Coating of the Emblems:

Place the emblem with the reverse side on THERMOFIX and cut out the shape roughly adding about 3mm of extra length.
Cover emblem with silicone paper on both sides (to protect iron and press).

- Press with the heat press at 170° C for approx. 5 seconds.

- Press with an iron (3 points) for approx. 5 seconds.

After fusing process, carefully remove the emblem from the silicone paper and fold the excess adhesive backwards.

Advantage: Better edge bonding.

Appliqués on garments:

Iron the base material before use. Fabric finishes evaporate and a permanent fixation is achieved!
Place the coated emblem on the desired spot, cover with silicone paper and fuse permanently:

- Press with the heat press (medium pressure) at 170° C for approx. 10 - 15 seconds.

- Iron thoroughly with an iron (3 points) for approx. 20 - 25 seconds.

Repeat the ironing process on the wrong side of fabric (fabric reverse side).

Note:

Your own test-runs are necessary for best bonding results to determine pressure, temperature and time.
Full adhesiveness will be achieved after 48 hours!

Important:

Place silicone paper on top of remaining uncovered Thermofix. Otherwise it will stick to the heat press or iron. Ask for our silicon paper. We can offer you the following make-up.
