Discover the captivating world of thermochromic ink, a unique formulation that transforms ordinary surfaces into interactive experiences. Our high-performance ink, meticulously engineered for vibrant colour shifts and seamless application, empowers you to create designs that react to temperature changes.

Witness the Transformation

At about 27C (81F), above normal room temperature, this remarkable ink undergoes a dramatic shift. It stays a deep, opaque black in cooler conditions, then fades to translucent when warmed by a touch, revealing any hidden design beneath. This captivating effect is reversible, allowing for endless cycles of reveal and conceal.

Achieve Outstanding Results

Our thermochromic ink is a two-part system, consisting of a pigment-rich slurry and a specialised binder. For optimal performance, mix these components in a 50/50 ratio before use. The binder is crucial for strong adhesion and prevents the ink from flaking or rubbing off.

To achieve the most vibrant colour change, apply 23 thin, even coats using screen printing for professional results. A foam roller can be used for smaller projects or simpler designs.

Important Considerations

  • Surface Preparation: Ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants before applying the ink.
  • Avoid Brush Application: Using a brush can lead to uneven application and affect the clarity of the colour change.
  • Individual Colour Use: Each thermochromic ink colour is designed to be used independently. Mixing or layering colours may impact the performance and vibrancy of the colour shift.
  • Drying: Keep heat low and short. Stay below 180C, as briefly as possible, and avoid prolonged heat above 75C. Brief heat at 100C for 12 minutes is fine.

Explore the Creative Possibilities

This versatile ink opens up a world of creative applications, particularly for interactive “touch and reveal” effects:
