Heat sensitive ink — security and marketing sizzle

Nearly everyone knows about cold-activated thermochromic ink. Chromatic Technologies Inc. (CTI) has been helping Coors Light turn the mountains blue at 46°F – the ideal consumption temperature – for years.

But did you know that heat-activated inks exist, too?

With these, the color turns to clear at the target temperature, whether it’s from the heat of your fingers touching a print, or breathing on the print, or a microwaving a syrup bottle or other food package.

Common applications for heat sensitive or activated inks include

Document Security — Touch or rub the printed ink text or design to show that a document is authentic. Great for checks and other official secure documents.
Safety Feature – Ensure that consumers know when microwaved or beverages are too hot to handle or taste, or when they’re just the right temperature.
Hidden Messages or Images – Use a heavy coating of heat-sensitive thermochromic ink to cover up a yearbook cover photo, and watch amazed teens touch or rub to reveal the image again and again.
