In the world of textile finishing, there are many ways to express your creativity – but few materials offer as much flexibility, efficiency, and quality as POLI-FLEX TURBO. This high-performance flex film impresses with its incredibly short pressing time, universal applicability, and exceptional wash resistance. If you’re looking for a fast, reliable, and versatile solution for your textile projects, POLI-FLEX TURBO is the perfect choice for you.
In this comprehensive guide, you will learn everything about the advantages, possible uses, application tips, and technical details of POLI-FLEX TURBO – so you can get the best out of your plotter project.
What is POLI-FLEX TURBO?
POLI-FLEX TURBO is a premium flex film from the brand Poli-Tape, specifically designed for fast and easy transfer onto textiles. The main advantage of this film lies in its extremely short pressing time of only 3–5 seconds, depending on the type of fabric. This not only saves time but also protects delicate materials and increases production efficiency.
The carrier film is equipped with a hot peel, meaning you can remove it immediately after pressing – perfect for fast production cycles or multi-layer designs. Thanks to its universal compatibility, POLI-FLEX TURBO is suitable for a variety of fabrics, such as cotton, polyester, and blended textiles.
