Photochromic pigments
Our expertise
To create smart photosensitive inks, paints and coatings, that change color with light, OliKrom relies on 2 smart pigment technologies:
Reversibles photochromic pigments
(OliKrom@hvSoft)
Color change at a defined light intensity, and color recovery when optical excitation decreases.
Color change can be induced by UV, visible and infrared light.
Applications : camouflage, interactive materials that change color with light intensity.
Irreversibles photochromic pigments
(OliKrom@hvOne)
Permanent color change above a given light intensity.
Color change can be induced by ultraviolet (UV), visible and infra-red (IR) light.
Applications : optical marking of industrial pieces, creation of customizable coatings.
