Low Melt Transfers
Low Melt Transfers – For Standard Synthetic Textiles Sensitive to Temperature
The safe transfer solution for polyester blends and lightweight synthetic fabrics that cannot withstand high heat.
Some garments and textile types require low processing temperatures without involving sublimation, stretch, or coatings. Think of promotional clothing made from polyester blends or lightweight workwear.
Our Low Melt Transfers are specially developed for this type of material. They offer reliable adhesion, a clean finish, and are gentle on fabrics that easily deform under heat.
Why Choose TTF Low Melt Transfers?
- 🔥 Pressing at low temperatures (130–140°C): Prevents damage to sensitive fabrics
- 👕 Perfect for polyester blends without coatings
- 🧼 Withstands up to 70 washes at 40°C
- 🧠 Hot peel technology: Fast processing and a clean final result
- ⚠️ Note: Not suitable for nylon, softshell, or sublimated fabrics

- Professional results even on sensitive materials
- Efficient processing in print shops with lower heat tolerance
- Suitable for budget productions based on synthetic textiles
What Makes Low Melt Special?
Not every fabric needs a blocker – but some simply cannot tolerate heat. The Low Melt Transfer provides exactly that:
- Reliable adhesion at low temperature
- Suitable for everyday applications on delicate fabrics
- Fast processing thanks to hot peel
Without risk of melting, discoloration, or deformation.
Press Instructions
- Pre-press: 3–5 sec (if needed to smooth the fabric)
- Press: 130–140°C – 12–15 sec
- Peel: Immediately after pressing (hot peel)
- Post-press: 2–4 sec for optimal finish
Not Suitable For:
- Nylon or coated fabrics – use Promo Transfer
- Softshell or stretch (elastane) – use Softshell Transfer
- Sublimated polyester – use Low Melt Blocker
In short: Low Melt Transfers are your reliable, safe choice for standard synthetic textiles that are sensitive to heat – but don’t require a blocker or nylon adhesive. Practical, professional, and efficient.
