Choose of common plastic heat transfer films

Kinds of common plastic are :ABS/PS/Acrylic/PP/PE(HDPE\LDPE)/EVA/PVC/PU/TPR

How to choose the heat transfer film and control its heat transfer temperature for different kinds of plastic?

Material property/type	PP	PE	PVC	PS	ABS
Density	Smallest	Smaller than water	big	Bigger than water	Bigger than water
Regidity	good	bad	better	better	better
Percentage of constraction	bad	ordinary	good	good	good
Tenacity	Bad if in low temperature	good	bad	bad	good
Strength	strong	weak	strong	stronger	Stronger
Heat resistance	good	ordinary	bad	bad	bad
Chemical stability	good	good	good	good	good
Toxic	no	no	No toxic if it needs	No	no
Adhesion	bad	bad	good	ordinary	ordinary
Heat combine	ordinary	good	ordinary	ordinary	ordinary
Mold process	easy	easy	difficult	easy	easy

The chart shows the worst heat resistance materials are PVC and EVA,so it must in low pinting temperature if we hope the transfer film can fall out when we choose PVC or EVA heat transfer film.The best temperature is 140℃~160℃.

The chemical properties of ABS/PS/Acrylic is stabilize,it can combine with the transfer film's ink perfectly, has good percentage of contraction.So we need to control the contraction of this transfer film and pay attention to heat transfer printer's pressure when printing.The best temperature of this kind of product is 180~200℃,0.5Kpa/s.

It needs bigger pressure and higher temperature for PP heat transfer film printing than ABS does because PP has stronger surface strength.Common temperature for hot stamping PP film is 210~220℃.PP heat transfer film need special glue layer.

PE is a soft material which has small density,bad adhesiveness but good tenacity,so if we choose this material, we should know it needs thick glue layer and high resistance in high temperature.Common temperature is 240~260℃.
