QCR Solutions’ Reversible Thermochromic products are available in a wide range of formats, colors and activation temperatures. Our color changing products reversibly change color at a specific activation temperature which you select. This activation temperature is defined as the temperature above which the thermochromic has almost achieved its final clear or light color end point. The color starts to fade at approximately 4˚C below the activation temperature and will be in between colors within the activation temperature range. The color change is “reversible,” i.e., the original color will be restored upon cooling.
Compatibility of the Thermochromic materials include various paints, inks and plastics matrix. The matrix of your application will strongly influence which format you select.
Formats of our thermochromic materials include powders, aqueous slurries, ready to use inks, and master batch pellets.
Applications are boundless such as beverage labels, packaging labels, shirts, ceramic coffee mugs, stickers, toys, straws, rubber ducky, and so much more. You are only limited by your imagination.
