Local pickup can also be coordinated through our satellite offices in Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines . How does Nomex Heat Felt prevent sublimation and transfer ghosting? When heat pressing garments with thick seams or rigid substrates like ceramic tiles, a standard hard platen leaves tiny air gaps right along the edges of the artwork. Those air gaps trap vapor and gas, causing blurred lines or "ghosting." The 1/2" thick Nomex padding compresses dynamically under pressure, pushing the transfer paper into complete, uniform contact with every millimeter of the substrate surface. What sizes can I order for my specific heat press machine? To fit everything from small hobby presses to massive industrial large-format machinery, this heat felt pad is available in numerous standard sizes: Standard Table Fits: 12" x 14", 14" x 16", 16" x 20", 20" x 25", and 26" x 32" Oversized Large Formats: 32" x 42", 44" x 48", and 44" x 64" Bulk Custom Rolls: 54" x 103" sheet layout or by the 54"-wide continuous 36" yard roll Can I cut or modify the Nomex pad myself for custom fixtures? Yes! If you are working with specialized pockets, inner sleeve molds, or custom bags, you can purchase a standard size pad and effortlessly trim it down using a sharp razor blade or heavy utility shears to fit your precise production geometry. How do I clean and maintain the heat felt pad for long-term shop use? Nomex is an incredibly durable, reusable industrial textile. If it accumulates lint, adhesive residue, or minor dust over time, it can be easily cleaned by hand washing with a mild laundry detergent and warm water , then left to air dry completely before being reinstalled onto your press base. Can I finance my shop's new equipment and production accessories through Lawson? Yes! If you are bundling multiple Nomex pads with a brand-new automatic direct-to-film system, a rolling universal floor stand, or a new multi-purpose swing-away press, commercial equipment financing options are available to protect your cash flow.

DESCRIPTION

Are you struggling with ghosted sublimation prints, weak ink transfers, or ruined garments caused by bulky seams, buttons, and zippers? The Geo Knight NOMEX Heat Felt Pad is a commercial-grade, industrial-strength production accessory engineered by Geo. Knight & Co. Designed to solve the toughest pressure-uniformity challenges on both flatbed apparel and rigid substrates, this USA-made 1/2" thick Heat Felt acts as a resilient thermal cushion that wraps flawlessly around obstructions to deliver retail-ready results.

The primary manufacturing advantage of Geo Knight NOMEX Heat Felt is its advanced mechanical compliance. When placed on your lower platen, this dense yet pliable padding allows thick zippers, heavy sweatshirt seams, button down plackets, and pocket flaps to sink deeply into the pad. This molds the face fabric perfectly flat against the upper heating element, completely eliminating the pressure drop-offs and cold spots that cause transfer failure. Highly optimized for executing flawless sublimation on ceramic photo tiles, direct-to-film (DTF) applications, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), and screen printed transfers, it distributes down-force evenly across variable surfaces. Furthermore, because it is composed of genuine, high-grade Nomex material, it withstands extreme production temperatures without breaking down, off-gassing, or scorching.

Available in a wide range of precut table footprints or by the continuous yard, this reusable pad can be easily trimmed down with a razor blade to accommodate custom fixture sizes.
