CobraFlex DTF Flexible Hot Melt Adhesive Powder

Clean Coverage, Confident Peels, and a Soft, Durable Hand

CobraFlex DTF Flexible Hot Melt Adhesive Powder is engineered for the realities of production: even coating, smooth oven melt, and a transfer that peels with confidence and bonds firmly to garments without a stiff plastic feel. When your film images with tight edges and your powder melts uniformly, the result is a crisp outline, stable sheen, and a soft hand that customers notice the first time they wear the shirt and every time after.

Film Behavior and Melt Performance

Quality powder must flow evenly across the printed image, cling without clumping, and reach full melt in the oven. This flexible formulation supports clean halos and sharp micro-type by filling the ink layer uniformly, which helps prevent pinholes and rough edges that compromise the peel. The finished bond is resilient, resisting edge lift on cotton, polyester, and blends when pressed within a reliable temperature and dwell window.

Press Windows and Finished Feel

Most film and powder combinations press in a window around 285–315°F at medium pressure for 10–15 seconds, followed by a short post-press to tune surface finish. Within that range, transfers exhibit consistent adhesion and a soft, flexible feel that preserves comfort and reduces cracking risk over time. Aftercare that avoids caustic agents and extreme dryer heat keeps prints looking new.

Workflow Fit with CobraFlex and DuPont Artistri

Pairing flexible hot melt powder with CobraFlex printers and consumables and DuPont Artistri DTF inks delivers smooth films, confident peels, and repeatable press results. With proper filtration, humidity control, and routine capping and wiper care, your film output stays clean, powder coats evenly, and oven dwell stays consistent from the first sheet to the last.

From Test Print to Volume Production

Repeatability is the difference between a perfect proof and a profitable run. This powder supports scalable throughput by reducing powder scatter, promoting uniform melt, and enabling peels that match your film’s warm or cold guidance. Standardize your process and lock in quality with the right combination of film, ink, powder, and press timing, and keep jobs moving on schedule with fewer reprints.
