Thermochromic Colour-Changing Pigment - Orange 28°C • SFXC

Sunset Orange Thermochromic Pigment: Ignite Your Creations with Dynamic Colour

Infuse your projects with a touch of magic using our innovative Sunset Orange thermochromic pigment. This remarkable pigment offers a vibrant orange hue that transforms into a translucent state at a specific activation temperature, creating captivating visual effects reminiscent of a breathtaking sunset.

Thermochromic pigments are coloured below a specific temperature and change to be translucent or a lighter colour as they are heated; this is done using a heat source or warm hands.

This free-flowing pigment will become translucent when it reaches 28°C. These pigments are reversible and will change back to their 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.

Explore the Possibilities

This versatile pigment seamlessly integrates into a variety of mediums, empowering you to develop:

Colour-shifting inks: Ideal for screen printing, textiles, and artistic expressions.
Dynamic paints: Enhance surfaces with paints that respond to temperature variations.
Interactive plastics: Create innovative plastics with eye-catching colour-changing properties.

Experience the Wonder of Thermochromics

Our Sunset Orange thermochromic pigment utilises microencapsulated leuco dye technology. These microscopic capsules contain specialised dyes that react to temperature changes. As the temperature reaches the activation point, the pigment transitions from a vibrant orange to a transparent state, revealing any underlying design or surface. This captivating effect is reversible, with the pigment returning to its original orange colour as the temperature cools.
