Results for tag: "Leuco Dye"

In the field of dyes and pigments, the Leuco Dye market is a specialized segment focusing on colorants that exhibit a reversible transformation between two chemical forms. This allows them to change color in response to certain stimuli such as temperature, light, pressure or pH changes. Leuco dyes are commonly used in applications requiring dynamic color changes, including thermal papers, such as cashier receipts, and mood rings, as well as in security inks and certain types of smart packaging. In contrast to pigments, which are typically insoluble particles that impart color by reflecting certain wavelengths of light, leuco dyes are soluble compounds that undergo a chemical transformation. This niche market is driven by the development of innovative applications in various sectors including paper, textiles, and security products. Some companies operating within the Leuco Dye market include Chromatic Technologies Inc. (CTI), a firm known for temperature-sensitive and color-changing technologies, and Vivimed Labs, which offers a broad portfolio of dyes, including leuco versions, for different industrial applications. Others such as Nippon Kayaku and Olikrom also provide a variety of leuco dyes tailored to meet the specific needs of their clients in diverse sectors ranging from consumer goods to high-tech industries.
