Thermal Sensitive Fabric

Fabric that changes color with temperature, heat and UV light

Thermal Sensitive Fabric

Thermochromic dye or print makes this fabric turn a completely different color when exposed to temperature, heat or UV light. As it cools, it gradually returns to its original color.

TCS has its own technology for applying thermochromic dye and print even to Tyvek, a material that is very hard to dye. Thermochromic designs and logos on flame-retardant fabric also serve sportswear and climate-adaptive clothing.
