Color Reflective Heat Transfer Vinyl Film

Color reflective heat transfer vinyl is a heat transfer material that combines aesthetics, safety and functionality. It is widely used in various personalized clothing, bags, sports equipment and safety protection clothing. Different from traditional monochrome reflective film, the color series not only has high reflective performance, but also provides a variety of color options, such as red, blue, green, yellow, orange, etc., to meet the needs of designers for creative expression.

Ysmlite's color reflective heat transfer vinyl uses high-brightness microprisms or glass microbead reflective materials, combined with environmentally friendly PET/PVC substrates, with pure colors and excellent reflective performance. After washing and friction resistance tests, the performance is stable, in line with OEKO-TEX standard requirements, non-toxic and harmless, suitable for heat transfer of various fabrics.

Its main performance characteristics include:

• High reflective brightness: can be clearly identified even in low light environments, improving night visibility.
• Diverse colors: a variety of color options to meet brand personalized needs.
• Strong hot pressing compatibility: suitable for cotton, polyester, blended fabrics and other fabrics.
• Environmentally friendly and safe: does not contain heavy metals, formaldehyde and other harmful substances, and complies with international environmental cert

Process Flow

Ysmlite strictly controls every link in the production process of color reflective heat transfer vinyl to ensure consistent product quality. The following are the main production process flows:

Substrate preparation: Use high-transparency, high-temperature-resistant PET film as the substrate, pre-treat the surface to improve adhesion;

Coating the reflective layer: According to different color requirements, evenly coat the reflective slurry containing high-refractive microbeads or microprisms, and precisely control the thickness;

Curing and drying: Multi-stage temperature-controlled drying equipment allows the reflective layer to cure quickly to ensure that it does not fall off or fade;

Color layer superposition: Apply a color coating on the reflective layer, using environmentally friendly pigments to keep the color bright;

Surface protection treatment: Add a scratch-resistant coating to enhance the product's water-wash resistance and wear resistance;

Slitting into rolls: Cut into standard rolls or customized sizes according to the customer's thermal transfer equipment requirements;

Quality inspection and packaging: Each batch of products undergoes reflectivity, peel strength, and water washing tests to ensure stability and consistency.

Ysmlite uses industry-leading coating equipment and a clean workshop production environment. The production process is intelligent and standardized. Every detail reflects professionalism and a persistent pursuit of quality.

Application scenarios

The application field of color reflective heat transfer vinyl is very wide, which not only meets practicality but also takes into account fashion. The following are several typical application scenarios:

• Sportswear: suitable for night running clothes, cycling clothes, outdoor jackets, and improve night safety;
• Personalized T-shirts/sweatshirts: brand logo, pattern decoration, enhance fashion sense and recognition;
• Safety uniforms: traffic police uniforms, sanitation work clothes, reflective vests on construction sites, etc., to improve visibility;
• Children's clothing and school bags: add color reflective patterns to children's clothing and backpacks to improve night travel safety;

Precautions for use

In order to ensure that the colored reflective heat transfer vinyl maintains excellent performance in actual use, the following suggestions should be paid special attention to:

• Heat pressing parameter control: It is recommended to use a temperature of 130-150°C, a pressure of 23kg/cm², and a time of 10-15 seconds. The specific parameters should be fine-tuned according to the type of fabric;
• Cold tearing/hot tearing method: It is recommended to use the cold tearing method, and the action should be uniform and stable when peeling;
• Pre-pressing the fabric: Pre-press the fabric for 3-5 seconds before the formal heat pressing to remove moisture and enhance adhesion;
• Avoid high-temperature washing: It is recommended to use warm water below 30°C for washing, and do not use strong alkali or bleach;
• Storage conditions: Store in a cool and dry place, avoid direct sunlight, prevent adhesion and discoloration;
• It is forbidden to directly iron the pattern surface: Ironing should be done on the reverse side or with a spacer to protect the integrity of the reflective layer.
