THC03 - Black-Clear Thermochromic

A colour change pigment that goes from black to almost nothing. Cold it is a solid, opaque black; warm it past about 31°C, with body heat, warm water or a hairdryer, and it clears to a faint smoky tint that lets whatever is underneath show through, then returns to black as it cools. Over a white or pale base the contrast is as strong as a thermochromic gets, and it will go back and forth as many times as you like.

• Form: thermochromic powder
• Shows the change: clearest in 2-3 coats or over a pale base
• Grade: high quality raw pigment

How to use

A loose raw thermochromic powder, ready to mix into your own projects. Mix into a clear base or nail polish and apply as usual. The colour changes with temperature and changes back again as many times as you like: warm it with body heat, warm water or a hairdryer and it lifts to its light state, cool it and the deep colour returns. It shows the change most clearly over a pale base. Store it out of direct sunlight, since prolonged UV shortens the life of any thermochromic.

Safety

This is a high quality raw pigment, not a finished cosmetic product. Avoid breathing in loose powder or flakes and work in a well-ventilated space. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use on broken skin, and stop use if irritation occurs. If you are making products to sell, it is your responsibility to confirm this pigment is permitted for your intended use in your market.

Good to know

Colours on screen are a guide only: the finish depends on your screen, your base colour, and the medium you mix into. Sold by weight, not volume - flakes and shimmers are feather-light, so even a small weight fills a surprising amount of jar. Store sealed, cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
