Themochromic pigments are composed of micro-capsules that change color reversibly. When the temperature is raised to a specified temperature the pigment goes from colored to colorless (or from one color to another color). The color returns to original color as the pigment is cooled down.
Temperature range
A. Thermochromic pigment color to colorless reversible 5-70°C
B. Thermochromic pigment color to colorless irreversible 60°C
C. Thermochromic pigment colorless to color reversible 60°C
Thermochromic pigment can be used for all types of surfaces and mediums such as paint, clay, plastics, inks, ceramics, fabric, paper, synthetic film, glass, cosmetic color, nail polish, lipstick, etc. Application for offset ink, security offset ink, Screen printing application, marketing, decoration, advertising purposes, plastic toys and smart textiles or whatever your imagination takes you.
For plastic: Thermochromic pigment can also be used with plastic injection molding or extrusion products such as PP, PU, ABS, PVC, EVA, silicone, etc.
For coating: thermochromic pigment suitable for all types of surface coating products.
For inks: thermochromic pigment suitable for all kinds printing of materials, including fabric, paper, synthetic film, glass, etc.
Processing temperature
The processing temperature should be controlled below 200 ℃, the maximum should not exceed 230 ℃, heating time and minimize material. (High temperature, prolonged heating will damage the color properties of the pigment).
