Same powder, straight from the distributor
This is Cowint's medium DTF adhesive powder in a 1 kg (2.2 lb) bag. It is a white hot melt TPU powder that bonds the printed ink to the garment when pressed, so the transfer stretches with the fabric instead of cracking and washes without peeling.
Medium (80 to 200 microns) builds the thickest adhesive layer. Pick it for dark, heavy or textured fabrics where you want maximum opacity and the strongest bond, and for hand powdering, where the larger grain is easier to shake off cleanly.
It sticks only to wet ink, so excess shakes off cleanly and the film stays clear around the design. Bonds between 80 and 120°C and fully melts between 105 and 132°C, which matches any standard DTF oven or press.
OEKO-TEX certified. Works with all standard DTF films and inks, on cotton, polyester and blends. Shipped from our Kansas warehouse in 24 hours or less on business days.

How to use this powder
- PrintPrint the design on DTF film, mirrored, color first and white ink last. Powder while the ink is still wet.
- PowderCoat the wet print evenly. Medium grain is easy to hand powder: pour, tilt and roll the film.
- Shake offTap and shake off everything that is not on ink. The film should be clear around the design.
- Cure240°F (115°C) for 2 to 3 minutes, until the powder melts to an even orange-peel finish. Hover a heat press above the film or use a curing oven.
- Press285 to 300°F (140 to 150°C) for 5 to 10 seconds, medium to high pressure, then peel as the film calls for.
