Thermochromic Microcapsule

PRODUCT

Powder(Oil-based)

Fx- Chromics CT Series

Slurry(Water-based)

Fx- Chromics CT Series

This is a microcapsule product with a special Fx- Chromics thermochromic dye, which changes color according to temperatures. The Fx- Chromics thermochromic dye causes the change of color by the heat-induced chemical structure change. Since it is very sensitive to the external environment, it is made as a microcapsuletype product for protection and thus its repetitive durability is increased. Fx-Chromics Thermochromic microcapsule has various colors. Because a temperature for changing color can be adjusted variously, you can properly choose diverse types of product according to colors and temperatures.

APPLICATION

Textile, Coating, Plastic, Injection, Suplpies, Ink

Principle of color change

When heat is applied to Fx- Chromics thermochromic microcapsule, the substance structure inside the microcapsule changes and consequently its color disappears. At cooling time, the internal substance structure of the microcapsule returns to its original state reversibly, and thus the microcapsule has color.

COLOR

Red, Vermilion, Magenta, R-Red, Orange, Yellow, S-Blue, D-Blue, F-Blue, Violet, Black

* Temperature for changing color: 0-70°C

Duo-Chromic CT Series

Slurry(Water-based)

Duo - Chromic STSeries

Duo – Chromic dye features the change of color by the structural change in specific conditions. Since the dye is very sensitive to the external environment, it is made as a microcapsule-type product to extend the period of its repetitive function. The microcapsule with the dye is called Duo – Chromic Microcapsule.

Difference from the standard Fx-Chromics CTSeries

Fx-Chromics Thermochromic Microcapsule changes from being colored to being colorless reversibly. But, Duo-Chromic Microcapsule changes from being colored to being colored and thus is applied to a wider range of areas.

APPLICATION

Textile, Coating, Plastic, Injection, Suplpies, Ink

Principle of color change

When heat is applied to Duo-Chromic Microcapsule, the substance structure inside the microcapsule changes and consequently its color disappears. At cooling time, the internal substance structure of the microcapsule returns to its original state reversibly, and thus the microcapsule has its original color

C-Lock P-Series

Slurry(Water-based)

C-Lock S-Series

As a kind of Thermochromic microcapsule, C-Lock has a property which its color disappears and recovers in accordance with temperature. If it exceeds the specific temperature, its colors disappear and then recover below the specific temperature in accordance with chemical structure change of substance within capsule. We can make colors disappear in specific part by generating heat caused from friction utilizing this principle, disappeared colors to be recovered by lowering temperature below zero.

APPLICATION

Erasable ink (ball point pen) Cable

Principle of color change

It maintains color changes in the range which is wider than existed Thermochromic microcapsule products by using special matrix which induces the change of chemical structure in accordance with temperature. C-Lock product de-colors over 60 °C or 80 °C. Once its color disappears, it colors back only under low temperature where there is few possibility of coloring during daily life.

COLOR

Black, Blue, Red, Green Magenta, Orange RoseRed, Vermilion Yellow

Reverse Thermochromic P-Series

Reverse thermochromic microcapsule is a product with thermochromic dye, which reveals its color according to increasing temperature. The reverse thermochromic dye changes its color by the heat-induced chemical structure change. Since the dye is very sensitive to an external environment, it is made as a microcapsule-type product for protection, enhancing its repetitive durability

APPLICATION

Textile, Coating, Ink Supplies(Mug cups, etc)

When heat is applied to reverse Thermochromic microcapsule, the substance structure inside the microcapsule changes and the color appears. When cooled down, the microcapsule recovers its original structure, and the color disappears.

COLOR

Pink, Green, Blue, Black

* Available temperatures: 40'c, 60'c
