Explore SFXC® Ink & Pigment Systems
Our specialist range of SFXC® inks and pigments is designed for applications where colour change, visual feedback or functional behaviour is essential. Whether you are developing interactive coatings, enhancing printed graphics, creating educational tools or conducting advanced R&D, our materials provide reliable, repeatable performance across a wide range of substrates and processes.
Choosing the Right Pigment for Your Application
Each pigment family offers a distinct functional effect. Thermochromic pigments respond to temperature shifts, making them ideal for safety indicators, packaging and promotional design. Liquid crystal systems provide precise temperature mapping for engineering, diagnostics and product testing. Photochromic pigments react to UV light, creating dynamic outdoor graphics and sunlight-activated effects. Hydrochromic coatings reveal hidden messages when wet, while phosphorescent and fluorescent pigments deliver high-visibility, glow and blacklight-reactive finishes. Sensory materials introduce fragrance, tactile and interactive effects for educational, creative and experiential applications. Traditional lakes, oxides and metallic pigments complete the range for projects requiring stable, conventional colourants.
Industries & Uses
SFXC® materials are used across manufacturing, education, product design, automotive, packaging, engineering, research laboratories and creative industries. From prototyping and small-batch production to commercial manufacturing, our pigments support both experimental and professional workflows. Each system is available in a variety of formats, including powders, dispersions, inks, binders and ready-to-use coatings.
