About LCR Hallcrest

LCR Hallcrest is a family owned pioneer of temperature sensitive, colour changing graphic technology known as thermographics. For almost 40 years thermographics have been used to monitor / communicate temperature, and solve communication / identification problems in a wide range of industrial applications. The LCR Hallcrest name, is synonymous with this effort and has been at the forefront of the innovation, development and manufacturing of trend setting products such as whimsical novelties like the mood ring of the 70′s, consumer products such as the battery testers of the 80′s, to medical diagnostic thermometers currently used in millions of surgeries annually.

LCR Hallcrest has an international presence with multiple manufacturing sites in the US and UK, these plants act as centers of excellence for the groups core thermographic technologies which include Irreversible Labels that trigger at a set temperature creating a permanent record that temperature has been exceeded, Liquid Crystals that can be accurately set to show colour at temperatures +/- 1°F, and Leuco Dye inks and pigments that can be formulated to turn from colour to clear either reversibly or irreversibly. Each technology offers unique capability but together the entire colour spectrum is covered within a temperature range of -22°F (30°C) to 2300°F (1,260°C). The manufacturing facilities are fully compliant to ISO 13485, CE standards and registered with the FDA. This broad range of temperature triggered colour changing technology lends itself to a wide range of products / communication solutions that is limited only by the imagination.

LCR Hallcrest′s thermographic products can be found in virtually any industry. Thermax® irreversible labels are used to identify and provide evidence of attained temperature, in various industrial applications at all levels of the supply chain. Feverscan® Forehead thermometers are used to monitor a patient′s temperature during surgery and in the immediate recovery period. Consumer products utilize Chromazone® colour changing graphic materials to communicate proper usage or storage conditions. Our Thermographic′s division markets cutting edge promotional and premium items that use thermal colour change interactively to engage their audience and increase message awareness.
