 Thermochromic Gravure Ink comes in:
These inks change color as their temperature changes. Our thermochromic inks all work the same way: below the activation temperature they are colored and above activation temperature they are clear or lightly colored. As the ink cools, the original color returns.
Low Temperature: ink is used for applications in the refrigeration temperature range, like beverage labels and ice-cream packaging.
Thermo Cold Cup
Body Temperature: ink is designed to show color at normal room temperature to change when rubbed with the finger or by breathing on it. It is used on packaging and other interactive products.
High Temperature: formulation changes color just below the pain threshold temperature for skin, which is a great safety feature on labels for microwaveable products and hot beverage labels.
In addition to out standard 15C, 31C (body-heat activated), and 45C temperatures CTI can formulate custom temperatures between -5C and 65C upon request.
