Technical Principle

Photochromic-thermochromic composite pigments combine the properties of both photochromic and thermochromic materials, responding to both light exposure and temperature changes.

The photochromic component is based on photochromic molecules that undergo reversible structural changes under UV light exposure, leading to color changes. The thermochromic component uses microencapsulation technology to control color appearance and disappearance through temperature changes.

The combination of these two mechanisms results in more complex color-changing behavior, significantly enhancing security features.

Usage Instructions

Ink Applications:

1. Recommend screen printing process with mesh count 150-200 2. Add composite pigments at 10-20% ratio (adjust according to desired effect) 3. Dry below 60°C to avoid affecting thermochromic properties 4. For best results, print on light or white backgrounds

Plastic Applications:

1. Addition ratio 0.5-2% (adjust according to desired effect and substrate) 2. Process below 200°C, minimize high-temperature exposure time 3. Recommend using transparent or light-colored substrates for better color change observation

Important Notes

1. Composite pigments are sensitive to environmental conditions, store in cool, dry places 2. Prolonged exposure to strong light may gradually weaken photochromic properties 3. High-temperature processing affects thermochromic properties, strictly control processing temperature 4. Certain chemicals may interfere with color-changing mechanisms, conduct compatibility tests before use
