Product Peculiarity

Color change

Thermochromic inks can change from one color to another, or from colored to colorless, depending on temperature changes. This change can be reversible (return to primary color after temperature reduction) or irreversible (permanent discoloration).

Environmental protection

Usually water-based formula, friendly to the environment.

Flexibility

The printed coating has good flexibility and is suitable for use on flexible substrates such as fabrics.

Durability

The printed pattern has good washable resistance and wear resistance.

Customization

Different color change temperature ranges (e.g. 0°C to 70°C) can be customized as required.

Application field

Smart labels

Smart labels for the packaging industry that can be used as anti-counterfeiting labels or functional coatings.

Smart textiles

Used for printing smart textiles, such as sportswear, outdoor equipment, etc.

Anti-counterfeiting mark

Used to make anti-counterfeiting mark to improve product security.

Temperature indicator

Used to make temperature indicator labels, such as cold drink indicators on beverage cans.

Educational tools

Thermochromic inks are also used as educational tools because of their unique color-changing properties.

Working principle

The main components of thermochromic inks are microencapsulated color-changing pigments that change their molecular structure when they reach a specific temperature, thus changing their color. The specific principles are as follows:

Reversible discoloration: When the temperature rises, the molecular structure of the pigment changes, and the color disappears or changes; When the temperature drops, the molecular structure recovers and the color reappears.
Non-inverting color: Some thermochromic inks have a permanent color change after reaching a specific temperature and are often used for temperature monitoring or warning labels.

Usage method

Screen selection: High mesh mesh is usually used (such as more than 100 mesh) to ensure the fineness of the pattern.

Printing process: To print thermochromic ink uniformly on the substrate, it is usually necessary to control the thickness of the ink to ensure the best discoloration effect. After printing, it usually needs to be dried at 60°C-100°C.

Note

  • Different substrates and application scenarios may require different discoloration temperatures, and it is recommended to test before production.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperature or ultraviolet light, so as not to affect the performance of the ink.

Environment and safety

Environmentally friendly: Thermochromic inks are usually water-based formulations that have less impact on the environment.

Safe use: Use in a well-ventilated environment to avoid contact with skin and inhalation of dust.

Storage conditions: Should be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated environment, avoid high temperature and humidity.

Through the reasonable selection and use of thermochromic inks, the application effect and quality of screen printing in the fields of smart labels, anti-counterfeiting labels and smart textiles can be significantly improved.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do thermochromic inks change color?

Thermochromic inks contain microencapsulated color-changing pigments. When these pigments reach a specific temperature, their molecular structure changes, causing the ink to change from one color to another, or from colored to colorless.

What is the difference between reversible and irreversible thermochromic inks?

Reversible thermochromic inks return to their original color when the temperature drops. Irreversible (non-inverting) thermochromic inks undergo a permanent color change once a specific temperature is reached, making them ideal for warning labels or temperature monitoring.

What are the primary application fields for these inks?

They are widely used in smart packaging labels, smart textiles (such as sportswear and outdoor gear), anti-counterfeiting marks, temperature indicators (like cold drink beverage indicators), and educational tools.

What screen mesh size and drying temperatures are recommended for printing?

A high mesh screen (typically more than 100 mesh) is recommended to ensure fine pattern details. After printing, the coating should be controlled for thickness and dried at temperatures between 60°C and 100°C.

How should thermochromic inks be stored to preserve their performance?

Thermochromic inks should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment. It is crucial to avoid high humidity, high temperatures, and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light to prevent degradation of the color-changing performance.
