Liquid MagicSeal Spray is a patented, water-based apparel finishing formula, with additional patents pending. It is designed to improve the softness, flexibility, breathability, and overall hand feel of printed garments. It is used after printing or transferring the image onto the garment, then heat pressed as a final finishing step.
The exact formula is proprietary, but the Safety Data Sheet identifies Liquid MagicSeal as a mixture containing primarily deionized water, along with a confidential glycol variant, an organic acid, aromatic terpenes, and other proprietary finishing components. These ingredients work together to help the printed image feel softer and more integrated with the fabric, rather than feeling heavy, rubbery, or stiff on top of the shirt.
Liquid MagicSeal is water-based,allowing the spray to be applied as a light mist over the printed design and spread evenly before the final heat press.
Finishing and softening components
The formula also includes a specialized blend of proprietary finishing ingredients, including a glycol variant, organic acid, and aromatic terpenes. These components are designed to help modify the surface feel of the print, improve flexibility, and enhance the way the printed area feels after pressing.
V1 vs. V2 formula
Liquid MagicSeal V1 may have a mild acidic or botanical fragrance. Liquid MagicSeal V2 is the odorless version, designed for users who prefer the same type of finishing performance without a noticeable scent.
Is MagicSeal Spray hazardous or toxic?
According to the SDS, Liquid MagicSeal is not classified as hazardous under GHS.
However, like any finishing liquid, it should still be handled responsibly. Users should avoid ingestion, avoid spraying toward the face, avoid contact with eyes, and minimize prolonged or repeated skin contact. If skin irritation occurs, rinse with water. If eye contact occurs, rinse with water for several minutes.
What does MagicSeal Spray do?
MagicSeal Spray is engineered to help lock transfer prints into the fibers of the shirt and improve the finished feel of the printed area. When applied correctly and followed by a final heat press, it can help improve:
- Softness
- Breathability
- Flexibility
- Comfort
- Overall hand feel
- The finished appearance of the printed design
Why is it useful for DTF printing?
DTF prints can sometimes feel heavier or more rubbery than other decoration methods, especially when too much powder or adhesive remains on the print. Liquid MagicSeal helps improve the final feel of the transfer after pressing. For manual-powdering DTF workflows, it can also be used as part of a method that helps reduce excess powder usage, which may further improve softness and breathability.
It also works with Vinyl / HTV to soften the hand feel, as well as other printing technologies including White Toner Transfers, DTG, Plastisol and more.
