Description
Thermochromic pigments are coloured below a specific temperature and change to be translucent or a lighter colour as they are heated to 28C, for example by warm hands.
Please note that the sensitivity of each colour is unique, and each will perform differently. We advise that you thoroughly test the product before commercial application.
This free-flowing pigment will become translucent when it reaches 28°C. These pigments are reversible and will change back to its original colour once the heat source is removed.

Thermochromic Powders are thermochromic microcapsules in a powder pigment form. They have been specially designed for use in solvent based, non-aqueous based ink systems, lacquers, clear coats and resins, although their use is not limited to this. They can be used to formulate non-aqueous based flexographic, UV, Screen, Offset, Gravure and Epoxy Ink formulations (for aqueous applications we would recommend using Thermochromic slurries). These powders are available in various colours and activation temperatures.We recommend using around 10% to 90% solvent based medium. Once added to your chosen medium you will have a stunning and vibrant colour changing coating.
Thermochromic pigments are ideal for most colour change applications; this includes fashion, design, printing, automotive, promotional, arts, crafts and promotional projects/products. We typically recommend using around 10% to 90% medium. Once added to your chosen medium you will have a stunning and vibrant colour changing coating.
If using this pigment to formulate your own ink, this Electric Paint Sprayer is an ideal tool to apply an even coat to any surface.
Our Thermochromic pigments can be added to resins to create fascinating designs. Why not try our Epoxy Resin Kit for beginners too!
