Chameleon® Thermochromic Masterbatch is temperature sensitive and changes colour as its temperature changes.

There are two variants

Becoming a lighter colour as the temperature rises and reversing back to the original darker colour as the temperature cools, below the activation temperature point.

Then becoming a darker colour as the temperature is cooled and reversing back to the original lighter colour, when the temperature is raised above its activation temperature point.

Available Colours

Colour to colour
Colour to translucent
Translucent to colour

However, we can produce special colours to order and any activation temperature from -15°C to +70°C

Some masterbatches are held in stock, such as for moulded baby safety products, for cold drinks and for body temperature activation.

For injection moulding or extrusion.

Suitable for dosing into many polymers such as PP  PE  HDPE TPE  TPU PU  EVA  HIPS  PVC

BPA Free available & Phthalate Free

Chameleon® Photochromic Masterbatch is ultra violet sensitive, so when they are placed in sunlight or near an ultra violet lamp it changes from clear to one of a selection of colours. Therefore, when removed from the UV source it changes back to the original colour.

In addition, other colours can be made to order, such as Yellow, Orange, Green and Turquoise.

This material is primarily suitable for use in injection moulding or extrusion, however, can be used for dosing into many polymers such as PP  PE  HDPE TPE  TPU PU  EVA  HIPS  PVC.

BPA Free & Phthalate Free

Chameleon® Phosphorescent Masterbatch has been specially manufactured for injection moulding and extrusion and can be added to many types of standard plastic materials with ease to create  ‘Glow in the Dark’ products for fun or safety purposes.

Phosphors radiate visible light after being energized and require exposure to light for a while before they will glow in the dark. Then they slowly release their stored energy over time and as they release the energy, they emit small amounts of light. In addition, we see as an object glowing.

Used in the production of Toys, Bangles, Wristbands, Spoons, Shot Glasses, Bottles, Barware, Jewellery, Headwear, Pet Collars, Signs, Keyrings and much more, ‘Phosphorescent’ MB can enhance and illuminate many moulded products.

BPA Free & Phthalate Free

Neutral pellets which when moulded and activated change to a vibrant yellowy green glow. The masterbatch is compatible with numerous plastic materials (PP, PE, PS, PET, TPE, TPU, PVC,HIPS.HDPE).
