Description
DTF Powder – Strong Adhesion for Custom Apparel
DTF Powder is an essential consumable in the Direct-to-Film printing process. After the design is printed onto DTF film, the powder is applied over the wet ink. Excess powder is removed before the transfer is cured. During heating, the thermoplastic adhesive melts and creates the bonding layer that connects the printed design to the fabric.
The powder is commonly made from TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) and is valued for its flexibility, adhesion and suitability for garment-transfer applications. Depending on the product grade, DTF powder can be used with cotton, polyester and blended fabrics.

How DTF Powder Works
1. Print
Print the design onto DTF film using compatible DTF ink.
2. Apply Powder
Apply DTF powder evenly over the wet printed ink.
3. Remove Excess
Shake or remove excess powder from the film.
4. Cure
Heat the powder according to the manufacturer’s recommended settings so that it melts into an adhesive layer.
5. Heat Press
Transfer the design onto the garment using the recommended temperature, pressure and time.
6. Peel
Peel the film according to the instructions for the selected DTF film.
The exact curing and pressing settings vary by powder, film, ink and equipment, so use the manufacturer’s recommended settings and test before production.
