DYE SUBLIMATION
Definition: The
transition of a substance (dye) from the solid phase
directly to the vapor phase.
Essentially during the
Dye Sublimation
Process, an image is “Tattooed” into the
powder coat base. This
compares to other processes which decorate only the surface
of the base material.
Advantage
Dye Sublimation is Cost effective, and maintains the
durability of the base powder coat. The design
transfers right into the coating, or the part itself.
You can even sublimate directly into some plastics!
Since it's a digital process, there are limitless design
capabilities, with 3-dimension capabilities as well.
Dye Sublimation is UV resistant.
