sublimation mugs dishwasher and microwave is safe

Are the sublimation mugs dishwasher and microwave safe?


Xin xiang Ceramic Mug Manufacturer, Sublimation mugs are widely popular, which stems from the advantages of sublimation mugs. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of sublimation mugs, and is it safe to use in dishwashers and microwaves? Xinxiang ceramic factory, give you a detailed introduction to sublimation mug.

1.What is sublimation mugs
Sublimation mug is also called coated mug, it is a kind of mug specially used for heat transfer printing. It can make our photos, our own patterns, conveniently printed mugs. As we all know, ordinary mugs can't do heat transfer. Because ordinary mugs do not have a coating on them, sublimation mugs are a kind of mugs that are specially used for heat transfer printing. So, our pictures or designs can be printed on the mugs. So how is it that sublimation mugs are able to accomplish the transfer of pictures? There are several important materials and a special process. Firstly, there is a special coating on the surface of the mug, hence the name coated mug. Secondly, the flower paper and ink for heat transfer printing are not ordinary. On the basis of these two hard materials, the heat transfer machine is needed to print the pattern onto the mug.

2. Advantages of sublimation mugs
a.Strong personality
Sublimation mugs have rich colours and designs, and strong personality because its pattern printing process is easy to operate.
b. Strong heat preservation
Because sublimation cups with the cup type are ordinary mugs, so sublimation cups are strong insulation.

3.Disadvantages of sublimation mugs
a.High price
Because of its printing process, the sublimation mug is more expensive than ordinary mugs.
b.Poor pattern solidity
The characteristics of heat transfer printing, although the pattern printed onto the mug is easier and the temperature is low when transferring. Therefore, sublimation mugs have poor pattern solidity, which can easily lead to pattern damage in dishwasher and microwave.

4. Production characteristics of sublimation mugs
The difference between sublimation mugs and ordinary mugs is mainly in the wall of the mug. Sublimation mugs are also called coated mugs, and their main feature is a layer of coating on the outer wall. Dip the ceramic mug into the coating solution and tilt it out to dry after it is completely coated. Clean the surface of the mug with a flannel, wrap the transfer paper around the mug, fix it with high temperature tape, put it in the mould cavity of the hot cup stamping machine, the set temperature is usually around 200℃, and carry out the heat transfer printing of the pattern.

5. Whether the sublimation mug can be used in dishwasher and microwave oven
Because the sublimation mug coating, flower paper and printing process issues. The dissolving temperature of its flower paper is around 200℃, so the high temperature microwave oven can destroy its pattern. Because the sublimation mug flower paper is not fired at high temperature, the flower paper and glaze do not form a protective film similar to glass, so the picture is also easy to be damaged in the dishwasher. Therefore, sublimation mugs are not suitable for dishwashers and microwave ovens.

Sublimation mugs have a strong personality because they are easy to print patterns on. However, because of this problem, it is less stable than the screen of printed ceramic mugs fired in large kilns. Sublimation mugs are not suitable for microwaves and dishwashers.
