Think thermochromics when you need Interaction between the consumer and your product. Thermochromics are well suited to enhance sales when:

• The product is exposed naturally to sources of heat and cold (microwave, coffee cup, fingers, fridge, an ice cube or freezer).

• Product effect may be simulated right on the package (anti-wrinkle creams, heat-activated shampoos…)

• The product itself is inducing a change, or a transition (old to young, dirty to clean...)

Think thermochromics when you need to provide Information to users.

• Reversible inks are used to indicate road freezing or prevent scolding with hot items (depilatory wax, ovens…). They are very convenient security features for instant authentication verification without special devices. AiC works closely with Sun Security to offer you complete security solutions including thermochromics.

• Irreversible systems are used to record that a temperature event occurred in the lifespan of the product (proper heat treatment, burned electrical component, overheating, tampering with heat source…).
Sterilization inks are a special class of irreversible inks, informing of proper sterilization of medical devices or food.
