Transfer compositions |
(57) Printing compositions for producing a heat transferable design on textiles or fabrics.
The compositions consist of a thermoflowable polymer and a blocked isocyanate crosslinking
agent flowable at temperatures at which the polymer flows. The blocking agent is removable
by heating at a temperature at which the polymer flows, thereby producing a crosslinking
agent for crosslinking the polymer. The compositions are substantially tack free at
ambient temperatures.
Also provided are transfers for producing designs on textiles or fabrics, the transfers
consisting of a temporary support with a design formed from a composition of the invention.
