Ranbar Violet SW5160 is a reversible microencapsulated thermochromic pigments that transition from purple to colorless. Crafted using innovative coating technology, their core contains invisible dyes, color formers, and temperature control agents, while their exterior is enveloped in an insoluble transparent coating.
Due to the sensitivity of thermochromic pigments to external factors, the use of microencapsulated coating technology enhances stability and durability, protecting the pigment from potential damage caused by various chemical substances. It is crucial to handle the processing with care to prevent any harm to the protective coating.
In fact, the color-changing temperature of microencapsulated thermochromic pigments is not a single temperature point but rather a temperature interval (color change temperature range: 0 to 70°C). This signifies the temperature range encompassing the start to the completion of the color change process. By selecting different temperature control factor materials, thermochromic pigments with color changes occurring in distinct temperature intervals can be produced.
Ranbar Violet SW5160 microencapsulated thermochromic pigments is easy to use and versatile, with a wide range of applications, including water-based/oil-based printing inks, water-based/oil-based coatings, and plastic molding. It can be utilized in various fields such as plastic children’s toys, plastic soft spoons, ceramic mugs, textile printing and dyeing, advertising promotional items, heat-reducing patches, heat transfer stickers, and printed products, among others.
