- FlexCut Sticky LT (low temperature), designed for heat sensitive fabrics;
- FlexCut Sticky Nylon with a polyamide hot melt adhesive which adheres to nylon and coated fabrics;
- FlexCut Puff Sweet, which inflates with air creating a 3D effect, when exposed to the heat of a heat press;
- FlexCut Sticky SubliBlock (SBB), which is designed for sublimated polyester fabrics (sports jerseys). It includes an exclusive “SubliBlock” layer that prevents dye migration from discoloring heat transfer appliques.
- FlexCut Sticky GITD (Glow In The Dark), which will glow in the dark after exposure to daylight or artificial light.
For plotter
cut graphics, RTape will also display FlexCut
Sweet, which approximates the
look and feel of screen printing in a heat transfer flex film. Made of 100%
polyurethane, FlexCut Sweet is very thin, soft and stretchable. FlexCut Sweet is available in three
versions: FlexCut Sweet; FlexCut
Sweet Nylon and FlexCut Sweet LT (low temperature).
Printable Polyurethane
Heat Transfer Films. If
you have a solvent, ecosolvent or latex inkjet printer, you can decorate
t-shirts, jackets and jerseys with RTape Tatoo, printable polyurethane heat
transfer films. Tatoo is 100% polyurethane, not a vinyl and not a
polyurethane-base blend. Polyurethane is
also much thinner, more stretchable and more durable. The product line includes
Tatoo and Tatoo Pearl, Tatoo SBB with a sublimation barrier, and Tatoo Nylon
with a polyamide hot melt adhesive for nylon and coat fabrics.
The graphic pictured above was printed on a HP Latex printer.
Flock
Films for Plotter Cutting.
VelCut
EVO is a high-quality flock film for plotter cutting with a heat
activated adhesive. VelCut flock
films are soft as velvet, stretchable and easy to cut and weed.
Flock
Films for Printing. Printabble
EcoPrint

flex materials. The heat applied flock
film is compatible with solvent, ecosolvent and latex digital print inks.

HotMask™ Transfer Tapes. To complement the heat transfer
products, RTape will also show its HotMask™ polyester transfer tapes, designed
protect printed heat transfer material from the high temperatures of heat
pressing. New to the line is 485L HotMask™, which utilizes a higher tack
