Thermochromic pigment (also called heat sensitive powder) is a kind of temperature sensitive powder material. With capability of changing color along with temperature changes, it can be widely used in various products including but not limited to:
- Temperature-sensitive cup mat: When we apply thermochromic pigment to the cup mat, the cup mat can present different colors as the heat in the cup changes.
- Temperature-sensitive sticker: We can make thermochromic pigment into a sticker to indicate temperature status or temperature change. For food, medicines and cosmetics, it can be used to indicate whether the temperature is appropriate or too high.
- Temperature-sensitive toys: We can apply thermochromic pigment to toys such as temperature-sensitive pigment drawing boards. When we draw on it with our hand or hot object, a pattern will appear or disappear as the temperature changes.
