ATLANTA CHEMICAL ENGINEERING offers NON-TOXIC Thermochromic Powder Pigments. They are Leuco Dye micro-encapsulated, which change color activated by temperature. Our Themochromic Powder Pigments have various colors and activation temperatures. When the temperature rises over certain degree, the pigment turns from one color to another. But the process is reversible- when it gets cold/hot, the pigment turns back to its original color.This specific listing is for 10 grams BLACK changing to COLORLESS (translucent white) changing at 158°F (70°C). It could be mixed with materials such as glue, varnishes, resins, mediums, paint, gels, hair dye, silicon, liquid plastics/polymers, and many more. Use clear binder with neutral PH 7. The acidic or alkaline binder may destroy the fine microstructure of the color changing pigment. Also your room temperature, the temperature of your binder and your hands play a role in the color changing process. The pigment doesn't mix with water.
