HYDROCHROMIC FILM REACTS TO WATER
PRODUCT INFORMATION
SFXC Hydrochromic film is a moisture-sensitive material that dramatically reduces in opacity when exposed to water and certain liquids. This change in characteristics is reversible, transitioning from white (when dry) to translucent (when triggered by water). As a result, the film can be used to obscure images, colours or text, which only reveal if the film becomes wet.
APPLICATION
This adhesive-backed film provides ease of application, allowing us to apply the hydrochromic effect to multiple surfaces without conventional spray equipment or paint brushes. To apply the effect, simply remove the adhesive backing liner and apply the hydrochomic film to your chosen surface. Hydrochromic film is flexible and can be cut to size using a craft knife, scissors or a guillotine.
Hydrochromic materials are used in various applications, including hydrology studies, drinks labels, fashion, art installations, flyers, business cards, wet & reveal stickers, liquid level indicators, moisture detection, wet & win and mailouts. In addition, hydrochromic film is a smart material making this a helpful demonstration tool for studying smart materials, which are included in the national curriculum.

IMPORTANT
Materials must be thoroughly tested before application to ensure suitability. Please read the TDS and MSDS carefully before use. Our product descriptions are intended only as a guide. The adhesive sheet may be removed once applied, but it is likely to permanently damage the surface to which it's applied or to the hydrochromic film itself.
