Thermochromic pigment
Other names:
Temperature sensitive pigment, temperature changing material, thermochromic dye
Description
iSuo™ Thermochromic pigment is developed by micro-encapsulation technology. It adopts temperature sensitive microcapsules to encapsulate dye and enable color change by temperature rising or falling in a certain range. It can be used repeatedly. It can change color quickly and the color could be fresh and vivid. It has good solvent resistance and dispersion. The color change could be reversible or irreversible.
Through shrinking and expanding of the microcapsules, it will change color by 3 ways:
1) It shows color by temperature rising and hides color by temperature falling.
2) It changes from one color to another.
3) It changes from colorful to colorless.
Characteristics
Particle size: 1 – 10um.
Base Temperature: 5℃, 10℃, 16℃, 31℃, 33℃, 43℃, 45℃, 50℃, 65℃.
The highest temperature resistance is about 200℃ - 230℃ (less than 10 minutes).
Usage
1. Temperature change Toner: injection molding (PU / PP / PVC / EVA / ABS / liquid silicone / paint)
2. Temperature change ink: glass, ceramics, metal, paper (offset, silk screen, gravure, printing)
3. Temperature change mortar: textiles, clothing printing, shoe materials, handicrafts, toys
4. Achromatic paste: stationery, car line paste, marking the ink line, irreversible decolorizing ink
Character
1. the temperature of the toner: the average diameter of 3-6 microns, 3% moisture content, temperature 225 degrees, good dispersion, weatherability
2. temperature color paste: paste, anion, the average particle size of 3 microns, temperature 190 degrees, washing fastness, environmental protection, colorful
