Crafting Bespoke Thermochromic Solutions

While our standard sheets cater to a wide range of needs, we understand that some projects require a more tailored approach. At Colour Changing, we pride ourselves on our ability to provide truly bespoke thermochromic solutions. Our in-house manufacturing process allows us to tailor liquid crystal sheets to your exact specifications. Whether you require a unique size, a specific temperature range, or a custom colour palette, our expert team will work closely with you to create a product that perfectly meets your needs.

Our Bespoke Manufacturing Process:

1. Consultation & Design: We begin by understanding your project requirements and desired outcomes. Our technical team will discuss your specifications, including size, temperature sensitivity, colour sequence, and any other relevant parameters.
2. Precision Formulation: We carefully formulate the liquid crystal mixture to achieve the desired colour-changing properties. This involves selecting the appropriate liquid crystal compounds and adjusting their concentrations to create the precise temperature response and colour transitions you require.
3. Microencapsulation & Coating: The liquid crystal mixture is microencapsulated to protect it and ensure uniform distribution within the sheet. This microencapsulated liquid crystal is then coated onto a high-quality polyester film using precision coating techniques.
4. Quality Control & Testing: We rigorously test each batch of bespoke sheets to ensure they meet our stringent quality standards. This includes verifying the temperature accuracy, colour consistency, and overall performance of the final product.
5. Finishing & Packaging: The finished sheets are cut to your specified dimensions and carefully packaged for safe delivery. We take pride in delivering high-quality products that meet your expectations and exceed industry standards.
