These inks are commonly used in thermochromic technology. Irreversible thermochromic ink means that it can only be used one time. These inks are better suited for users who do not have access to the label on the product being tested.

Heat Sensitive Inks

Thermochromic inks and thermochromic paints react to the amount of heat they come in contact with. These heat sensitive inks will change their color when they come in contact with a source of heat. These inks can be used to create products specially designed to change when placed by heat, or taken away from heat. A child's favorite toy can be designed so that during bath time, when placed under warm water, their yellow rubber duck can turn red. Heat sensitive inks can also be used in this same way as a warning device. If these inks are used on a toy, the toy can change color when the water becomes too hot, and possibly prevent the child from being placed in scalding hot water. These thermochromic inks have many possible uses. Whatever you can imagine, thermochromic inks can help you achieve.
