Add Metallic Foil to Your Designs with Plastisol Foil Adhesive 3801LF International Coatings 3801LF Plastisol Foil Adhesive is a clear adhesive that can be used on 100% cotton and some cotton/polyester blend fabrics to produce brilliant metallic foil designs on textiles. Plastisol Foil Adhesive is ready to print right out of the container and can be printed on light or dark t-shirts. Stir prior to use. Dry cleaning is not recommended. Foil Application Foil is applied colored side up and aluminum-looking (dull) side down. Rub foil with an eraser immediately after application to help remove any wrinkles. Allow transfer to cool completely (20–30 seconds) after application before removing the foil sheet. Pull the foil sheet off slowly. It can be helpful to tint the 3801LF Plastisol Foil Adhesive, to match the color of the foil being applied, with a small amount of conventional plastisol. This process helps keep small pinholes in the applied foil film from being noticeable. For example: Use a few grams of yellow or gold plastisol in the 3801LF Adhesive when using gold foil. Use a few grams of black or gray plastisol in the 3801LF Adhesive when using silver foil. Application Temperature 300°F to 325°F (149°C to 163°C). Start with a lower temperature for best results. Application Time 10–15 seconds Application Pressure t-shirts = Medium (40 lbs.) sweatshirts = Medium to Heavy (40 lbs. to 60 lbs.) The brightest foil effect results when the foil is first removed. To achieve a textured matte finish foil, reseal the garment or hat in the transfer press for 3–4 seconds after the foil carrier film has been removed. Important Information For best durability of the foil after application, the garment should be hand-washed or machine-washed (delicate cycle) inside out, and line-dried or air-dried. Do not use bleach. Do not iron the printed area. Additional Information View Plastisol Foil Adhesive SDS Orders in quantities not in multiples of 4 will be charged a broken case fee of $10 per item.
