Transform Ordinary Surfaces with the Magic of Thermochromic Ink – Touch or Rub & Reveal

Unlock a world of interactive possibilities with our high-performance thermochromic ink. This innovative formula, engineered for vibrant colour shifts and seamless application, allows you to create captivating designs that transform with temperature.

Experience the Dramatic Colour Change

Our thermochromic ink undergoes a remarkable transition at 31C (88F). Below this temperature, it presents as a rich, deep black, effectively concealing any underlying design. When exposed to heat above the activation temperature, such as the warmth of a hand, the ink fades to translucent, revealing the hidden layer beneath. This captivating transformation is reversible and can be repeated countless times, adding an element of surprise and interactivity to your creations.

Achieve Flawless Results

Our thermochromic ink is supplied as a two-part system, comprising a pigment-rich slurry and a specialised binder. To ensure optimal performance and adhesion, these components must be thoroughly mixed in a 50/50 ratio prior to application.

For superior coverage and vibrant colour transitions, we recommend applying 23 thin, even coats. Screen printing is the ideal method for achieving professional-quality results, ensuring consistent ink distribution and minimising the risk of cloudy patches. Alternatively, a foam roller can be used for smaller projects or less intricate designs.

Important Application Notes:

  • Surface Preparation: Ensure your chosen substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust or contaminants before applying the ink.
  • Avoid Brush Application: Using a paintbrush can lead to uneven coats and compromise the clarity of the colour change.
  • Individual Colour Use: Each thermochromic ink colour is formulated for independent use. Mixing colours or layering them may affect the performance and clarity of the colour shift.
  • Drying:
