CT-165-R2

Description

Thermochromic paints are designed to change colour at specific temperatures giving a visual indication of a temperature change. They can be used in many temperature critical areas, to include as safety indicators on thermally sensitive substrates, indications of the thermal history in the petrochemical industry and in R&D development programmes.

These paints function by the action of chemical change within the solid components of the coating.

CT-165-R2 is non-reversible, hence the change in colour will be permanent.

The coating is designed to be thermally stable when used below its first temperature change level. When the coating approaches the first temperature change level, the reaction will occur quickly. If the coating is held within tens of degrees of the change temperature, a more gradual change will be observed.

CT-165-R2 is formulated on a blend of acrylic resins, to allow fast air-drying and surface hardness. For external applications, a clear glaze coat may be applied to increase durability.

Colour change will occur at 165oC (302oF), where the initial cream colour will change to dark brown.
