Description
Medium DTF Powder for Balanced, Everyday Production
This medium DTF powder is the balanced grade in the DTF Printer USA lineup: a 120-170 micron thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) hot melt adhesive that pairs print durability with softness, built for day-in, day-out production on everyday fabrics like cotton and polyester.
It comes in 1 KG (2.2 lbs) bags, works on both light and dark fabrics, and ships same day from Stafford, Texas.
What Is Medium DTF Powder?
Medium DTF powder is the middle grade of hot melt adhesive, sitting between fine and coarser powders. Like all DTF adhesive powder, it is applied over freshly printed film and melts into the ink during curing, then bonds the design to fabric under the heat press.
The middle grain is what makes it the everyday pick. It holds designs firmly in place without adding bulk, keeps a smooth feel on the shirt, and handles both larger graphics and more intricate designs. For shops running cotton, polyester, and common blends all week, medium is the grade that covers the most jobs.

Why 120-170 Micron Matters in Medium DTF Powder
Particle size describes how fine or coarse the powder grains are, and it is the property that defines this grade. This medium DTF transfer powder is specified at 120-170 micron, the middle of the scale, and that range is stated on the product so you know exactly what you are running.
What the medium grade means in use
- The middle grain spreads evenly over wet ink and covers both large fills and detailed areas in one pass.
- The cured layer balances durability with softness, holding the design in place without added bulk.
- A stated 120-170 micron spec keeps your powder step repeatable: every reordered bag matches the last one.
Why the material is TPU
- Thermoplastic polyurethane melts under heat and grips both the ink and the fabric fibers.
- After cooling it stays flexible, producing breathable prints that stretch with the garment.
- It keeps a smooth feel on the shirt, which is what makes medium the everyday production grade.
How to Use Medium DTF Powder
- PrintPrint your design on DTF film with textile ink, adding a white layer for dark garments.
- PowderCover the wet ink evenly with medium powder.
- Shake offTap off the excess so powder stays only on the inked areas.
- CureHeat the film until the powder melts into a smooth, glossy layer.
- PressHeat press the cured transfer onto the garment and peel.
Medium DTF powder curing works with a curing oven, in-line dryer, or hovering heat press at the settings your equipment recommends. Wear a protective mask and work with proper ventilation when handling DTF powder, and let a shaker and dryer automate the powder step on production runs.

Powder Application
DTF powder is applied over the freshly printed, still-wet ink so the adhesive coats every part of the design before curing.
The Pressed Result
After curing, the transfer is heat pressed onto the garment. The melted TPU layer bonds the print to the fabric with a smooth, flexible finish.
