Temperature Indicator Ink

[deenor]

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a temperature-indicator ink available? It's similar to the time-indicator ink. Our product will go through a baking process at our customer's site. The use of temperature indicator will help them on their anti-recycling program.


Thanks
Deen

There are a bunch. You will have to watch though, some of them are not compatible with some substrates.

tpmwalz has it right as Tempil has the crayons, dots, and paint to do the job.

Aside from the Tempil products you might want to look at these products from Omega.

Thanks for the input. The requirements are able withstand temperature up to 200 degC & won't peel easily especially at post-bake. The substrates are from engineering plastic with glass filled. I want to apply it using the silk screen method.

regards
