Product Description: Glow-in-the-Dark Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)
Overview
Everyglow ® Glow-in-the-Dark Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) is a specialized polyurethane (PU) film designed for heat-application onto textiles. It features a concentrated layer of high-performance photoluminescent pigments that charge under natural or artificial light to emit a bright, sustained glow in dark environments.
This glow-in-the-dark heat transfer film is a favorite for garment decorators, safety apparel manufacturers, and hobbyists looking to add high-impact, luminous effects to t-shirts, hoodies, activewear, and accessories.
Key Features
- High-Intensity Afterglow: Provides a brilliant glow (typically lime green or aqua) for several hours after exposure to light.
- Soft Hand Feel: Unlike older, thicker films, our PU-based HTV is thin, flexible, and soft to the touch, ensuring the garment remains comfortable to wear.
- Easy Weeding: Features a pressure-sensitive (sticky) carrier backing that makes weeding fine lines and intricate details effortless.
- Superior Washability: Engineered to withstand 50+ wash cycles without peeling, cracking, or losing its luminescent properties.
- Multi-Fabric Compatibility: Bonds effectively with cotton, polyester, and poly/cotton blends.
