Customized solutions to create various battery powered color changing designs, displays, and messages.

Optically active mixtures of organic chemicals that can be highly temperature sensitive and change to many colors.

Changes color with changes in temperature.

Microencapsulation is the process SpotSee uses to stabilize, package and protect the liquid crystal and leuco dye materials at the core of its thermochromic indicators. This microencapsulation technology seals each active ingredient inside a microscopic, water based...

Temperature Indicator Labels SpotSee's temperature indicator labels use Wax Melt technology, a precise melting-point chemistry, not electronics or external power, to create a permanent visual record when a set temperature is exceeded. Available as temperature...

Photochromics (PCs) transform from clear to color by changing their chemical structure after absorbing UV light.

Photochromic dye is a light-reactive compound that shifts from clear to colored when exposed to UV light, typically from sunlight or a black light, and can be formulated to either fade back to clear or stay permanently changed. SpotSee applies this technology in its...

Thermochromics, like liquid crystals and leuco dyes, predominantly change color in response to temperature fluctuations.

Thermochromic masterbatch is a range of temperature sensitive pellets made with thermochromic pigment. The pigment shifts from colored to colorless as temperature rises, then returns to its original color as the material cools.What Is Thermochromic Masterbatch?...

Irreversible thermochromic ink is a high temperature activated ink that changes color permanently once it crosses a set activation point. Unlike reversible thermochromic ink, the color change cannot reset, making it a reliable, one time visual record that a heat...
