NCC (Taiwan)
Colourchange Pigments (Thermochromic Material, Photochromic Material)
NCC New Prismatic Enterprise Co. was founded in 1987 and is a leading manufacturer of “colourchanging material” in Taiwan. These specialty products are based on microcapsule technology and can reversibly change colour depending on external factors (e.g. light, temperature). Many of the products are available in powder form and as aqueous slurries. They are free from bisphenol-A. We focus on these two NCC product groups:
Thermochromic Material
These products change colour reversibly from coloured to colourless when the temperature rises and back to coloured when the temperature falls. There are 15 colours available with different colour change temperatures (-15°C to +70°C).
Photochromic Material
These products change colour reversibly from colourless to coloured in sunlight (UV light) and back to colourless when the sunlight (UV light) is removed. In addition to the conventional types (8 colours), there are now 16 further “New Photochromic” types, which are characterised by excellent colour strength, light stability and dispersibility.
