Lancer Group’s STI7940 Stretch Clear is a first-down silicone clear that when printed first on PET film provides excellent durability and washfastness on performance-wear garments decorated with silicone heat transfers. STI7940 is recommended for transfers made with STI7960 White and STI7933 RFU colours. This step can be eliminated when producing high-density silicone transfers.
STI7940 is part of the STI Silicone Heat Transfer System. Other components in this system that are necessary to produce silicone heat transfers are PET Film, STI7960 White, STI7933 Colours, STI7941 Stretch Underbase, and T-1 Adhesive Powder. Note: All components STI7902 and T-1 Powder must be catalyzed prior to printing.
