Heat-sensitive materials like nylon present special decorating challenges. ThermoFlex Xtra, offered by GSG, is a cutter material developed specifically for use on nylon, leather, rayon and other surfaces where heat is an issue. It features a thick, pressure-sensitive polyester carrier sheet and a low-tack carrier adhesive that allows for easy repositioning, cutting and weeding.
A durable, highly flexible polyurethane-based material, ThermoFlex Xtra is applied at relatively low temperatures (310 ͦ -315 ͦ), with a dwell time of 3-5 seconds, then cold peeled, covered with a Teflon sheet, and repressed for 10 seconds. It also can be used on some silicon-coated materials with sufficient surface texture to permit the adhesive to adhere.
ThermoFlex Xtra combines a soft hand with durability and a strong grip. It is available in 16 popular colors, including Antique Silver and Old Gold. All shades except the silver, gold and Columbia Blue can be layered beneath another product to create multicolor designs.
