Thermochromic Pigment ColorCard(Color to Colorless Series)
Main Function: iSuoChem® 31°C pink thermochromic pigment powder is a temperature-sensitive, microencapsulated pigment that produces a reversible color-changing effect. As the temperature rises through its activation range, the pink color gradually fades to light pink and may eventually appear nearly colorless or semi-transparent. This creates the visual impression of the color disappearing. When the temperature decreases, the pink color returns, allowing the color-changing effect to be repeated.

Why Does 31°C Thermochromic Paint Change Color at Different Ambient Temperatures?
The color-changing behavior of 31°C thermochromic paint depends on the temperature within the pigment-containing coating, which may differ from the surrounding air. This distinction matters when evaluating performance under actual operating conditions.
Direct sunlight may warm a coating into its color-changing range while ambient air remains below 31°C. Conversely, a cooler substrate can delay fading even when the air is warmer. Heat transfer, substrate properties and environmental conditions all influence the coating's actual temperature.[1]
The nominal 31°C activation temperature is not an exact on/off point. Reversible leuco dye-based thermochromic pigments change color over a temperature interval, while thermal hysteresis may cause fading and recovery to follow different paths. Consequently, color intensity at a given temperature can depend on whether the coating is heating or cooling.[2]
For coating manufacturers, pigment selection should consider substrate material, coating structure and operating conditions. Applications requiring a narrowly defined color-change threshold should be evaluated using the finished coating rather than relying solely on the pigment's nominal activation temperature.
FAQ
1. Is this product suitable for all types of paints and resins?
Yes, thermochromic pigments can be mixed with most paints and resins to create different color-changing effects.
2. Will thermochromic pigments affect the performance of the mixed medium?
No, the encapsulation treatment ensures the stability and waterproofness of the pigment and will not affect the performance of the medium.
3. How to store thermochromic pigments?
Please store it in a cool and dry place, avoid high temperature and humidity environment to ensure its long-term stability.
