The Science Behind the Magic:

Our thermochromic inks utilise microencapsulated leuco dyes. These microscopic capsules contain specialised dyes that are colourless at room temperature. Upon reaching the activation temperature, the microcapsules undergo a reversible structural change, allowing the vibrant dye to become visible. This fascinating technology provides a reliable and repeatable colour-changing effect that will elevate your products to a new level of sophistication.
