INTERNATIONAL COATINGS TRANSFER PRODUCTS
screen with water and a cleaner such as Formula 409 after use. Once the adhesive has set up, (dried) in the screen, it
is very difficult to remove.
NOTE:
NYLON TRANSFERS
Nylon transfers are made using International Coatings 900 series inks, not catalyzed, # 210 solvent based
adhesive and 290T heat resistant silicone paper. The 900 Series inks are printed through a 110 to 125 monofilament
screen mesh and completely fused, 325°F to 375°F (163°C to 191°C) on the 290T paper. The ink has to be
completely fused so that the ink is resistant to the solvent in the 210 adhesive. The 210 adhesive is then printed over
the 900 ink. The adhesive must overlap the entire printed ink film by at least 1/32". It is the 210 adhesive that
bonds the ink to the nylon, so it must cover the whole ink film, including a little outside the edges of the design. The
210 adhesive should be printed through a 61-monofilament screen mesh coated with a solvent resistant emulsion.
Use a 65 to 80 durometer squeegee. Completely fuse the adhesive at the same temperatures as the ink. The colors
may overlap each other as in a cold peel transfer and are dried between each color. The 290T paper is necessary for
proper performance of the transfer. It has an excellent release and will not break down from the high heat needed to
make nylon transfers. Use International Coatings # 275 thinner for cleaning and thinning the 210 adhesive. To
wash up the 900 inks, use mineral spirits or plastisol screen wash.
NOTE:
For greater durability of the foil after it is applied, it is recommended that the garment be hand
washed or machined washed (delicate cycle) inside out and line or air-dried.
Use proper precautions and adequate ventilation when using the 210 adhesive and 275 thinner.
When heat sealing finished transfers to nylon, it is recommended that the fabric be preheated for 5 seconds
at 325°F to 375°F (163°C to 191°C) to remove surface moisture and wrinkles. Try lower application temperatures
for best results (325°F to 350°F). Place transfer in position and heat seal for 10 to 15 seconds at 325°F to 375°F
(163°C to 191°C). Application temperature depends on stability of nylon to heat. After heat sealing and before
removing transfer, immediately rub the hot transfer with a cloth to eliminate bubbling. Be careful not to rub too
hard or the transfer may move before cooling. Remove transfer when cool. An edge of adhesive may show around
applied nylon transfer on darker fabrics. Suitable tests must be conducted to determine suitability of transfers for
nylon applications.
