High-Bond TPU Thermoplastic Polyurethane Hot Melt Powder For DTF Heat Transfer Printing
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) hot melt adhesive powder is a heat-activated bonding material used in DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing and textile heat-transfer applications. It melts during the curing process and bonds the printed film securely onto fabric.fabrics.
Advantages of TPU powder
- Excellent wash resistance (40–60 washes)
- Good stretch and flexibility
- Soft hand-feel
