Flat Backs Hotfix (HF)

Flat Backs Hotfix (HF) are loose crystal components with a flat reverse side that has been pre-coated with a heat sensitive glue. Flat Backs HF can be easily applied by heat to a range of textile carrier materials and produce a durable and long lasting crystal effect. Flat Backs HF are available in a multitude of colors, shapes and cuts. The most important single item in this product group is the Swarovski XILION Rose – the new generation of brilliance.

"Hotfix" is the glue on the back of Flat Back crystals. This highly flexible glue is activated at temperatures between 120 and 170ºC and bonds with the carrier material. As the glue cools, the crystal components are securely and permanently fixed to the carrier material.

"Hotfix Transparent" is the Swarovski Hotfix glue with a patented, transparent primer. The use of "Hotfix Transparent" with non-mirror-coated Flat Back crystals produces an innovative "raindrop effect", as the crystals take on the color of the carrier material.
