Hotronix® Silicone Heat Press Upper Platen Cover

Tired of ruining expensive, heat-sensitive garments or wasting valuable time dealing with fabric scorching? The Hotronix Silicone Heat Press Upper Platen Cover by Stahls' Hotronix is a premium, industrial-grade accessory engineered to provide a robust thermal shield for your most delicate production runs. Boasting a heavy-duty 21" x 21" size, this protective silicone cover is large enough to encompass standard upper platens, completely insulating your heating elements from direct fabric contact.

The defining benefit of this silicone upper platen cover is its ability to eliminate scorch rings, ghosting, and glossy indentations on synthetic performance wear, polyester, and tri-blends. It features a uniquely engineered, slightly textured finish that mimics a classic screen-printed texture, ensuring smooth, retail-ready results for DTF transfers, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), screen printed transfers, and sublimation. Built to withstand commercial temperatures up to 400°F, the high-durability silicone construction also maximizes efficiency by ensuring completely even, edge-to-edge heat distribution—which can reduce necessary pressing times significantly on certain substrates.

Compatible across a massive range of machinery, this cleanable, non-stick cover is an absolute necessity for any serious print shop looking to protect garments and boost hourly finishing throughput.
