ThermoShield Closure – To ensure the temperature range

February 11, 2023 Vihaan Nagal 0 Comments

Thermochromic materials change their color with temperature changes. This technology plays a tremendous role in packaging, where product quality relies on temperature.

Cool and cold-chain food logistics enterprises depend on temperature control from farm to table. Intelligent packaging technology utilizing ThermoShield can immensely enhance product quality in the storage, transport, and sale stages to decrease food waste from spoilage.

The durability of health, fitness, and beauty products is usually sensitive to storage at high ambient temperatures. ThermoShield can assist consumers in keeping their products in their optimum environmental requirements.

Specific uses are perishable goods, cool and cold-chain logistics, food and beverages, pharmaceutical, nutraceuticals, wellness, cosmetics, paints & coatings.

ThermoShield closures show “It’s warm or cooler in here” by rapidly varying color at a preset temperature created into the cap –

Temperature changes point between -20C and +70C, and a significant color transition range is available.
ThermoShield color shift can be reversible or non-reversible (i.e., once triggered, the color change is permanent)
ThermoShield is BPA-free and phthalate-free.
ThermoShield doesn’t wear out in regular use.
Attract customers to your brand utilizing Thermochromic technology because your packaging talks to the user.

The Selection Process – ThermoShield Closure

1. Choose your application.

Select closure type, size, and usage (e.g., food, pharma, cool-chain, cold-chain, etc.).

2. Specify trigger temperature.

At what temperature should the transition be triggered, and what accuracy is required (e.g., 10˚C +/- 5˚C).

3. Specify desired color transitions.

Please refer to the chart below as a guide. You can choose reversible (ideal for most applications) and non-reversible color change (more specialized). Standard color change options are shown in the chart, and if you need help, we can advise you on the best color combinations.

4. Specify volume estimates.

What is your estimated volume? We are happy to quote on formulations to suit your requirements, and low volumes of 2,000pcs/carton are possible.
