heat-set
regulada a calor


Explanation:
Eu diria "regulada a calor" porque ele o texto fala de uma medida (calor, frio) que presume intensidade e "quente" está mais pra adjetivo nesse caso. Ela é "regulada" na medida "calor" para manter a forma. Ou seja, uma medida condicionante.

Example sentence(s):
  • "I only heat set it until the fabric was very hot without scorching it"
