Glue Powder White for PET Film 1kg: DTF Adhesive Powder for T-Shirt and Fabric Printing

Complete the DTF printing process with our DTF glue powder white PET film 1kg. This white adhesive powder is used in direct-to-film printing to bond printed artwork from PET film onto fabric. After your DTF printer deposits the design onto the PET film, you dust the printed area with this glue powder. The powder coats the wet ink layer and creates the adhesive bond that transfers the artwork to the target fabric when heat pressed. White glue powder pairs best with white pigment ink and produces clean, consistent adhesion on the printed transfer. Sold as a 1kg bag.

Why the Glue Powder Step Is the Critical Link Between Printed Film and Finished Transfer

DTF printing produces a design on PET film using pigment ink. That printed ink layer has no adhesion on its own — it cannot bond to fabric without an intermediate step. The glue powder provides that step. When you dust the glue powder onto the freshly printed film, the powder particles settle into the wet ink layer and form an even adhesive coating across the entire design. That coating is what bonds the transfer to fabric during heat pressing.

Without glue powder, or with the wrong powder for the ink type, the transfer will not adhere correctly. Sections of the design may lift, peel, or fail to bond after washing. White glue powder is specifically formulated to work with white pigment ink — the ink layer that forms the base of most DTF designs on dark and coloured fabrics. Because white ink is applied first in the DTF print order, the white glue powder ensures that the base layer bonds as reliably as the colour layers above it. That consistent adhesion is what produces a durable, wash-resistant transfer.

How to Use the DTF Glue Powder White for PET Film

After your DTF printer completes the print onto PET film, dust the glue powder white evenly across the printed area while the ink is still wet. Shake off any excess powder. Cure the powder by passing the film through a curing oven or using a heat gun until the powder melts into a smooth, even adhesive layer. Then heat press the cured film onto your target fabric at the recommended settings for DTF transfers. Peel the film after pressing according to your transfer’s hot or cold peel specification.
