Abstract:
A processor producing a colorfast thermal appliqué using a polyester kiln fabric dye-sublimation printing a graphic image on the fabric blank, and laminating a triple-layer polyurethane adhesive on another side of the printed fabric blank. The triple-layer adhesive comprises a first layer of clear ink resisting polyurethane adhesive followed by a white-pigmented is resistant polyurethane adhesive and a third clear layer or ink-resistant polyurethane adhesive. The first layer of the triple-layer adhesive is fused tinder combined temperature and pressure to the polyester blank until said first and second layers impregnates into said fabric blank. The fabric blank is then cut into a discrete finished appliqué that does not substantially change the physical and visual characteristics of a performance fabric substrate to winch the appliqué is applied.

Claim (Index 9):
A process for producing a triple-layer thermal adhesive laminate for use with a thermal appliqu\u00e9, comprising the steps of:\n obtaining a first layer of clear thermoplastic adhesive having a melting point at a first temperature; obtaining a second layer of clear thermoplastic adhesive having a melting point at a first temperature; obtaining a third layer of white thermoplastic adhesive having a melting point in a second temperature that is higher than said first temperature; laminating said first layer and second layer of clear thermoplastic adhesive to said third white layer at a temperature equal to or greater than said first temperature but less then said second temperature; cooling to produce a triple-layer thermoplastic adhesive laminate.
