Thermo Paint can be applied by brush or spray to check the temperature of large areas or uneven surfaces. For use with spray, specialized thinner is required.

Reversible
Although the paint color will change above a specific temperature, it will revert to the original color when cooled, enabling one application to be used repeatedly.

• When used on aluminum, special undercoating should be applied. When used on metals other than aluminum, undercoating should be applied.
• If the last coating varnish is used, the durability, the chemical resistance and gas resistance will be improved.
• Approx. 140 to 160 g will be required per square meter in brush painting.
• When R-5 is exposed to direct sunshine, the color may get blackish slightly, which, however, will not adversely influence the performance.
• The color will change from a lower temperature color to a higher temperature color with an accuracy of +/-2 ^oC and from a higher temperature to lower temperature at temperature 15 ^oC lower than the specification.

Semi-Irreversible Indoor Use Only		Irreversible Indoor Use Only
The paint color will not revert to its original color by cooling, but by moisture.		The color will change clearly as the temperature rises and will not revert to the original color .

• The temperature of color change is dependent on such factors as heating speed, heating time, pressure, reactive gas and so on. Please refer to the tables at the bottom.
• The volume to be required will be approx. 80 to 100 g per square meter. It will take four to five minutes at normal temperature for the paint volume to get dried.
• Semi-irreversible type is not suitable to repetitive use.
• The temperature indicating materials of irreversible type may change the color during the transportation, depending upon season, destination and handling.

Cautions for Use

Keep away from flame. Clean an area before paint is applied on it. Stir the paint with a fine stick before use. The pigments may be setteled down. The paint viscosity is adjusted for brush painting. When the viscosity gets too high for easy painting, re-adjust the viscosity with thinner. If the paint is used for spray painting, add 20% of thinner. The solvent is flammable and volatile. Close a cap of the bottle after use, keep it in the original box, and store the box at a place, cool, dark, well ventilated in order to eliminate a risk of flame. The validity of product quality is one year after shipment from Japan. Thermo Paint cannot be used outdoor and should not contact directly with human, food, kitchenware or tableware.

The temperature, at which the irreversible/semi-irreversible paint color changes, may change depending on time and speed of heating. Please check the following data before selecting the product. The temperatures shown above are reference only and those at which the color change is completed at heating speed of 2 to 3 ^oC/min.

Heating Speed and Temperature of Color Change

When a sample is to be heated to the temperature at which the paint changes the color and when temperature increase is to be monitored, refer to the following :
