Product Description
Non-Toxic Thermochromic Powder Pigments
THERMO means “heat” and CHROMA is “color”. Thermochromic Pigments change color when exposed to different temperatures. Every pigment has a different activation temperature (the point when it changes color). When temperature rises over certain degree, the pigment turns from one color to another or color to colorless (translucent white). But the process is reversible- when it gets HOT or COLD, the pigment turns back to its original color.
You can mix Pigments with clear or white glue, varnish, resin, silicone, nail polish, liquid soap, hair dye/mousse/gel, paints, or any medium corresponding to the surface you want to apply on. Ratio of Powder to Binder is 5% to 15% by weight depending on application and how bright you want your colors.
10 grams container has 7 teaspoons.
Our Multicolor Packs have 3 different color choice containers - 5 grams each (3 and 1/2 teaspoons each container)
Perfect for DIY Color Changing Face Masks, Secret Messages, Nail Art, Epoxy Tumblers, Science Experiments, Slime, Color Changing T-Shirts & Shoes
Before ordering, please consider your room temperature, season and decide which activation temperature will work for your specific project.

- BLACK to COLORLESS changing at 82⁰F (28⁰C)
For making Epoxy Tumblers, Slime or Paint changing color by hand touch, choose activation temperature close to your ambient temperature from 72⁰F (22⁰C) to 82⁰F (28⁰C):
- BLUE to VIOLET changing at 72⁰F/22⁰C
- RED to YELLOW changing at 77⁰F/25⁰C
- GREEN to YELLOW changing at 77⁰F/25⁰C
- BLACK to PINK changing at 77⁰F/25⁰C
- BLACK to COLORLESS changing at 77⁰F/25⁰C
- BLACK to YELLOW changing at 82⁰F/28⁰C
- BLACK to COLORLESS changing at 82⁰F/28⁰C

For Cosmetics and Color Changing T-Shirts choose 82⁰F (28⁰C) and 88⁰F (31⁰C)
Perfect for Creating Original Color Changing Art
The most important factor in the color changing process is YOUR OWN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE at time of use. Please, consider where do you live before choosing activation temperature for your Thermochromic Powder Pigment.

I have been doing my own nails for a few years now and tend to lean towards the dip powders that change color with the temperature. After I came across a video of someone making their own powder I wanted to give it a shot. I took a chance with this product and mixed it with clear dip powder, after a couple experimental fake nails I got the consistency I wanted. This product went above my expectations and was a lot easier to use than I anticipated.

The temperature range on the black to yellow isn’t as useful as the others which is a shame as it’s quite dramatic. The yellow-red is amazing.

Used these for some kids science experiments and all three colors worked well as described.

I previously bought the 82F° pigment and wanted to test how much time it takes to go from colorless to the original state compared to this pigment (77F°). When placing a hand on the pigment mixed with acrylic paint, it took between 35-65 seconds. For the 82F° pigment, it took between 15-35 seconds.I tested it on 25-lb paper, 80-lb cardstock, 65-lb cardstock, tape, and wood.I tested it with clear nail polish, transparent glue, white acrylic paint, acrylic paint matte finisher, and clear ink.It works really well on lighter paper. The pigment's color is not completely black—it's more of a dark grey. So, if you mix it with white, it will turn into a lighter grey.It dries fast and doesn't leave residue after applying. Because the pigment seems to spread out, ensure that something is underneath the container when using it. Then, you can put it back in the container.If you want a slower return, this one is the choice.

Very interesting product with a myriad of uses. Silk screening t-shirts, school projects, arts and crafts, temperature sensor, pranks, etc. The product is opaque in use, so if you're looking for translucence in your finished product, this probably isn't for you. One thing to pay special attention to is the activation temperature regarding your particular use for the product. You don't want it too low where it's always activated or too high where it never changes. Once you've got that figured out, the sky is the limit.

The change in colour from black to pink was the most dramatic and adds an extra level of fun to art projects or nail polish. The other two colours are great too but the black to pink is the one that stands out the most. It’s easy to change it back to black from pink if you need to by putting it in the freezer for a few minutes. Can’t wait to try other colours.

I tried these pigments on multiple thing tumblers, mugs, resin molds. The colour change is so faint its hardly even noticeable.

When mixed with epoxy it turns clear when heated. Otherwise has a black opaque coloring. The translucence varies depending on the primary medium. But works fine!

This RED-YELLOW pigment works well for slime. The temperature of just your hands is enough to initiate the colour change from coral to orangey-yellow and yellow. If you use a cold jell pack on it you can change the colour from a coral to a deeper red. The visual effects were really good and the children enjoyed playing with the slime to make the colour change.Easy to blend into the glue when mixing. But expensive if you are just making slime at home, as one 10g jar can make one bigger batch of slime (2 bottles of 4oz of glue) or two smaller batches of slime (1 bottle of 4oz glue each batch). Great for school STEAM activities though, as schools would have an expense budget. The recipe I used was as follows: 1 4oz bottle white glue, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons contact lense solution.The BLACK-PINK product wasn't good. The colour when mixed with white glue is dark purple. It doesn't seem to change colours with the heat of your hands when handled. Did not get it to go pink at all, perhaps it needs a stronger heat source? It changes to black when an ice pack is applied. Not a great visual as the disparity between the dark purple and the black is not great. Wouldn't recommend.
