Research & Development
Having a team of 8 people dedicated to the continual improvement and development of new materials and processes, LCR Hallcrest prides itself on being innovative and responding to their customer’s needs.
Areas of expertise
LCR Hallcrest specialises in the following fields:-
Thermochromism – temperature measurement through colour change.
Photochromism – detecting the presence of light through colour change.
Hydrochromism – detecting the presence of water through colour change.
Microencapsulation – protection of sensitive materials through formation of an outer wall
The aim of our team is to use the above processes to develop finished products that are accurate, non-toxic and easy to use that meet the needs of our customers.
Above all we love a challenge!
We have in-house laboratories, production and creative facilities in the UK and USA, and can work with you on any new colour-changing or thermochromic concepts.
We can tailor our current technologies or develop specifically to a client’s brief, and are also happy to conduct this work under a mutual Non Disclosure Agreement.
We have been manufacturing thermochromic temperature sensitive devices since 1969 and provide reversible technology in inks, coatings, labels, intelligent packaging and plastic masterbatch.
