Hotfix (HF)
Hotfix technology involves applying a specially developed glue onto the reverse side of Flat Backs. The glue, which is extremely flexible, is
activated by temperatures between 120 and 170°C and bonds with the carrier material. The crystal element is permanently fixed onto the
carrier material during the cooling off process.
|
Hotfix Transparent (HFT)
This variant of the Hotfix technology is a patented bonding agent that is applied to the reverse side of non-mirror finished Flat Backs resulting in
an interesting “raindrop” effect during which the crystal takes on the color of the carrier materials.

No Hotfix (NoHF)
All Hotfix articles are also available as No Hotfix without glue applied onto the reverse side.
