Heat press Teflon paper, also known as PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) sheets, are used to protect materials during heat transfer and provide a non-stick surface for the heat press. They are characterized by their high heat resistance, non-stick properties, and durability.
Key Specifications:
Material: PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene).
Heat Resistance: Typically withstands temperatures up to 500-600°F (260-316°C).
Thickness: Commonly available in thicknesses ranging from 0.11mm to 0.15mm.
Size: Available in various sizes to fit different heat press machines, such as 16x12 inches, 16x20 inches, and 20x24 inches.
Color: Often brown, but can also be white.
Reusable: Designed for multiple uses with proper care.
Waterproof: Resistant to water and can be easily cleaned.
Non-stick: Prevents materials from sticking to the heat press during application.
Durability: Resistant to tearing and wear, even with repeated use.
Applications: Used for various heat transfer applications, including heat transfer vinyl (HTV), sublimation, and screen printing.
Important Considerations:
Shiny vs. Matte Side: Some Teflon sheets have a shiny side and a matte side. The shiny side is generally recommended for a glossy finish, while the matte side is better for a matte finish.
Cleaning: Teflon sheets can be cleaned with mild detergent and a soft sponge.
Storage: Store flat or rolled to prevent creases.
