Adhesives
Heat Seal Adhesives
Also known as Thermoplastic Adhesives. Thermoplastic adhesive has also been referred to as hot-melt and thermal-sensitive. It is uniform in thickness, flexible, and light in weight. Because of these properties, it is easy to use - especially when compared to thermosetting adhesives.
Heat seal adhesive allows for re-positioning in those occasionally necessary re-work situations. In addition to the above characteristics, they are also environmentally friendly and made without volatile organic compounds.
Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
Pressure-sensitive adhesive will stick with application of pressure-only (without activation by heat). The adhesive that is coated on the backing substrate is a pressure-sensitive adhesive; When combined with the face fabric under pressure, it bonds/laminates to the face fabric. Pressure-sensitive adhesive makes appliqué embroidery a snap - no spray cans of adhesive with the sticky mess and noxious fumes. Just peel off the backing and position your appliqué piece to embroider.
