Inter-platen pressure heat seal equipment
To get a good adhesion when sealing labels, emblems or
transfers there are three parameters important:
• Temperature
• Time
• Pressure
Temperature and time are normally quite easy to set on
most heat seal machines when it comes to pressure it is
more difficult because there is no read out of the inter-platen
pressure (pressure created between the upper and lower
platen whilst sealing).
Most of our products need a minimum inter-platen pressure
of 0,5 Kilogram per CM2.
For air operated (pneumatic) machines 4 bar input pressure
will generally result in sufficient inter-platen pressure to give
a good adhesion.
In the graph below the inter-platen pressure is shown of
several popular Thermopatch heat seal machines at various
input pressures.
Calculation
If you want to calculate yourself the inter-platen pressure
please use the formula below.
R = Radius cylinder in cm
Hand operated (mechanical) machines with the optional
pressure adjustment should be setup as follows:
• Lower the bottom plate(s) to their maximum
• Lower the upper platen and hold it
• Turn the lower platen up so that it touches the upper
platen
• Turn the lower platen a little more up (also depending of
the fabric to be sealed) to give pressure.
• Make sure that the machine is still relatively easy to open
by hand or that it opens automatically like the HS-4-C

HiQ tape, Hytex & Initex
HiQ pre-cut / pre-printed
HiQ pre-cut
HiQ packing
HiQ colours
HiQ tape, Hytex and Initex are Thermal Transfer printable
medias made for heavy industrial use. All three media come
in kits consisting of 2 rolls of 50 meter label material and 1
ink ribbon (black colour) of 104 meters length. The width of
the ink ribbon is in line with the tape width.
HiQ tape
HiQ tape is made out of a textile carrier on one side with a
special finish for printing and on the other side a glue for heat
sealing it to textile.
The tape is supplied as continuous for thermal transfer
printers with a cutting device or pre-cut to size.
Standard colour of the tape is white and the ink ribbon black.
The tape is also available in 6 colours: red, orange, yellow,
pink, blue and green.
The tape is available in the following sizes:
Continuous: 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 mm
Pre-cut: 70 x 38mm, 80 x 19mm, 80 x 30mm, 90 x 25mm,
90 x 38mm, 90 x 50mm, 90 x 60mm
Hytex
Hytex is as HiQ tape pre-cut to size on a paper carrier. The
labels are self adhesive, that makes positioning easy, and
heat sealable . See the next page for sizes.
Hytex is only available in white.
Initex
Initex made out of two layers, top layer that can be printed
with thermal transfer and a bottom layer as heat seal glue.
Because Initex has no textile carrier as HiQ it is not
removable. When a product should be relabelled, a new label
can be sealed on top of the old label.
Only available in white. Initex is available as continuous rolls
in the widths: 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90mm
Pre-printing by silkscreen
HiQ pre-cut and Hytex can be supplied with a logo or a frame
by silkscreen printing. The sensor in the thermal transfer
printer will control the printing of additional names and job
titles.

Coating / Laminating of fabrics
When a colour or fabric type can not be found on our
standard range it is possible to send in fabric for laminating.
We have two ways of coating / laminating fabrics:
A. powder coating, this is mainly used for cotton, cotton
rich and polyester cotton fabrics
B. film coating, this is for special fabrics like barrier, clean
room, etc.
Conditions:
A. Minimal 50 linear meters (minimal width 130cm
maximum 160cm)
B. Minimal 25 linear meters (minimal / maximal width
150cm the film is
142 cm wide.
Please be aware that loss of fabric will occur (normally about
2-3 linear meters per run for film coating and 8 –10 meters
with powder coating).
To find out if a fabric can be coated or laminated it is
recommended to supply us with a sample (minimal A4 size)
so that we can test this first.
After coating / laminating we can convert the textile into
patches or rolls.
In the table you can find what M2 is required to make
patches.

Film Coating
With our film coating you make your own patch material or
apply embroidered emblems by heat seal technique.
The film coating is standard supplied on rolls of 50 meters
length and is available in two widths; 50mm and 100mm.
Other widths can be supplied upon request.
The film has a thickness of 100 microns and weighs 125
grams per m2.
How it works…...
To repair textile where we do not offer the right colour/
textile repair patch.
• Cut out of another textile item sufficient textile to repair
the damaged spot
• Place this piece of textile on the heat seal press with the
good side down
• Cut from the film coating the required length (keep it
smaller as the cut out piece of textile) and place this on
top of the textile
• Place a piece of Teflon ® sheet over the textile and the film
coating (Teflon ® sheet can be ordered with us)
• Seal this for 5-10 seconds at 204°C
• Remove the Teflon ®
• Cut the “patch” to size
• Place the to be repaired textile item on the press
• Position the “patch”
• Seal this for 12-14 seconds at 204°C
Embroidered emblems
If you want to seal embroidered emblems instead of stitching
you can apply the film coating at the back of an embroidered
emblem and then heat seal it.
• Cut sufficient film coating to cover the full back of the
embroidered emblem, the film must be larger as the
emblem itself
• Remove any possible now woven material on the back of
the emblem so that the glue can touch the textile
• Place the emblem face down on the heat seal press
• Put the larger cut film on top of it and cover it with Teflon ®
sheet
• Seal this for 5-10 seconds at 204°C
• Remove the Teflon ®
• Remove the overdue film coating with a pair of scissors
• If required you can melt the film coating on the edges
by holding the emblems sideways against the heating
element

Film Coating • Clean the heating element
• Position the garment
• Position the emblem
• Seal this for 20-35 seconds at 204°C, depending on the
thickness of the emblem and reseal with another 20

Reflective emblems / transfers / rolls
Thermopatch reflective material can be plotted in any size and
form and can be screen printed (emblems). The material has
a very high reflectivity in small and wide en-trance angles and
a high visibility under bad incoming light conditions. It has
outstanding adhesive properties. It meets the EN-471 standard.
Wash resistance
Dry cleaning, washing at 60°C
Application
Jackets, emblems, badges, logos, overalls, trousers, shirts etc.
Temperatures: 150 to 190°C dependant on type of fabric*
Seal time: 1st cycle: 5 seconds
2nd cycle: 10/15 seconds dependant on type of fabric*
Pressure: 2 – 3 Atm.
* Cotton, polyester etc. 1st cycle 5 seconds, 2nd cycle: 10
sec. at 180°C
* PVC, poly-urethane, nylon etc. :1st cycle 5 seconds, 2nd
cycle: 15 sec. at 160°C
Important
Put the reflective material with the protective layer UP on the
fabric. Pull off the protective layer immediately after the 1st
sealing cycle. Use a Thermopatch seal machine to apply the
reflective material.
Delivery conditions
Thermopatch guarantees the quality of this product only if it
is applied according to the above sealing instructions.
Thermopatch cannot be held responsible for discolouration of
the reflective material because of poor colour fastness of the
fabric on which it is applied.
Converting guide lines
Reflective fabric can be hand cut, die cut, or guillotined. In
all cases, however, handle the cloth carefully as any direct
contact with the hands is liable to leave harmful smudges on
the surface and sharply diminish its brilliance.
Whenever two or more rolls of any hot-melt garment are
used together on a single surface or as a set, they should
be matched precisely to ensure uniform reflectivity under
exposure to both daytime colour and night time darkness.
Before hot melting, check all factors likely to affect adhesive
property, such as surface texture of material to be processed
(smoothness, presence or otherwise of water-repellent finish
or waterproofing finish), whether woven or knitted fabric,
and thickness (light or bulky), amongst others. Whenever in
doubt, please consult us or your distributor.
Be careful when the base material involves either nylon or
polyethylene, or if it is coated with either silicone or fluorine,
all of which have surface textures that lack adequate adhesive
strength. Before hot melting the fabric onto any type of
base material, please be sure to conduct tests to determine
optimal conditions for bonding.
