Photochromic Pigment Magenta Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-MTP-11673
The photochromic pigment magenta is a light-activated smart material used for demonstrating reversible colour change under sunlight or ultraviolet light. Supplied as 3g in a plastic syringe, it helps staff and students observe how photochromic dye microcapsules respond visibly to changing light exposure.
Product Description
Photochromic Pigment Magenta from School Equipments India is designed for lessons on materials and their properties. The pigment normally has a pale, off-white appearance away from sunlight or UV light and changes to a bright magenta colour when exposed to light.
The active photochromic dye is contained in micron-size microcapsules dispersed in water, giving the pigment a thick cream-like consistency. When mixed with a suitable binder such as an acrylic base, it can be applied to surfaces for demonstrations, classroom samples, smart graphics, UV-warning activities and design-based STEM projects.
Key Features
- Verified 3g supply: The product is supplied in a plastic syringe for controlled classroom use.
- Light activation: The pigment changes colour when exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet light.
- Magenta response: The pale pigment develops a bright magenta colour under activating light.
- Reversible effect: The pigment returns to its pale colour when moved away from sunlight or UV light.
- Smart material example: Useful for teaching stimulus-responsive materials and optical effects.
- Microcapsule formulation: The active photochromic dye is held in micron-size microcapsules dispersed in water.
- Multiple application methods: Can be used for brush painting, block printing, stencilling and screen-printing demonstrations.

How to Use the Photochromic Pigment Magenta
- Place a small amount of pigment on a clean mixing surface.
- Mix the pigment with a suitable clear binder, such as an acrylic base, if a permanent applied sample is required.
- Start with a trial mixture; a 50:50 mix is a practical starting point.
- Apply the mixture by brush, block printing, stencil or screen-printing method.
- Allow the prepared sample to dry as required by the binder instructions.
- Expose the sample to sunlight or UV light and observe the magenta colour change.
- Move the sample away from sunlight or UV light and observe the return to a pale colour.
Safety and handling: Use under staff supervision. Avoid ingestion, eye contact and unnecessary skin contact. Follow the safety instructions for any binder or medium mixed with the pigment.
Care & Maintenance
- Keep the syringe sealed when not in use to reduce drying and contamination.
- Store away from direct sunlight, UV lamps and excessive heat.
- Test the pigment-to-binder ratio on a small sample before preparing a final demonstration piece.
- Clean tools promptly according to the binder or medium being used.
