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.
