Colour Change Interactive Plastics

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 is reduced below the activation temperature point.

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.

Colour to colour, colour to translucent and translucent to colour are available.

Photochromic Masterbatch is Ultra Violet sensitive. When placed in sunlight or near an ultra violet lamp it changes from clear to one of a selection of colours.

When removed from the UV source it changes back to the original colour.

Standard colours from stock: Colourless to Purple, Colourless to Yellow, Pale Green to Blue. Available for injection moulding or extrusion into polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, ABS, TPE, and TPU.

Other colours are available to order.

Colours can be influenced by plastic thickness, addition rate, and type and clarity of plastic used.
