The key differences between Hot Peel Film and Cold Peel Film are: Hot Peel Film is more efficient, for large patterns with lower press temperature (140℃-150℃) while Cold Peel Film can be applied to more types of fabrics with longer-term water washing fastness at lower cost.

Cold-peel DTF Film---The main component of cold-peel DTF film is silicon. Silicone is easier to melt and apply to the film than hot-peel DTF film. This is why the cold-peel DTF film is more stable than the hot-peel DTF film on the market.

Hot-peel DTF film---To achieve a quick tear, the main component of the release layer is wax, which is relatively unstable and does not melt and apply easily.

The pressing temperature of cold peel DTF film is longer than that of hot peel film, usually 150-170℃ for 10-20 seconds, after pressing, it takes about 30 seconds cooling time before tearing off. The adhesive layer of the cold peel film adopts oil-based back coating method and has good washing fastness.
