About our Thermochromic Paints

Thermochromic paints that change colour between 30^oC and 31^oC. 

Their colour change is fully reversible and can take place an unlimited number of times.

The first colour in the colour name is the cool temperature colour (below the colour change temperature). The second colour in the name is the warm temperature colour or effect (above the colour change temperature). The colour change is sharp and fast. 

• Orange to Bright Yellow
• Maroon Brown to Pink
• Dark Grey to Almost Transparent
• Turquoise to Pale Earth Red
• Bright Blue to Translucent Sky Blue
• Deep Green to Pale Translucent Green

Note that the colour change of wet or damp paint will be less sensitive or slower until the paint has fully dried.

​

Effect of colours underneath the Thermochromic Paints

Apply these paints with brush or roller. It is important to paint feature walls white before applying these paints unless you specifically want other effects as described below. 

The product called Dark Grey to Almost Transparent can be painted over other paints of any colour. At temperatures below the colour change temperature the paint will appear dark grey (almost black). At temperatures above the colour change temperature the paint is almost transparent so the colours or design below the thermochromic paint will appear.

A few ideas

• Your child will invite all their friends to see their bedroom wall change colour which will happen twice a day on warm summer days.
• As body heat is around 36^oC, handing an object painted with these paints will cause it to change colour in weather below 30^oC.
• Paint a bench and everybody who sits on it in cool weather will leave their butt profile ????.
• On warm days painted items that are put in the fridge will change colour immediately. 
• The paint can be used as a temperature indicator on baby bottles etc. 
• Dark Grey to Almost Transparent can be painted over other painted designs. In warm weather or when warm water is thrown onto the paint, the design below will suddenly appear.
