Hydrochromic materials react to water. Printed white, they turn see-through when wet, revealing a message, pattern or image underneath. As they dry, the white returns — ready to reveal again.
The effect needs no power, heat or electronics — just water. That makes it ideal for designs that come to life in the rain, the bath or a splash.
Designers, printers, manufacturers and schools use hydrochromic materials on textiles and swimwear, umbrellas and rainwear, paper and board, plastics and films, promotional and packaging designs, signage, education and science demonstrations.
