Thermochromatic Dye?? huh?

Since coming onto the scene back in the 80's color changing shirts have been kind of a mystery to the average consumer when it comes to the technology. The shirts are made using several dying methods that take plenty of skill and time to figure out how to use correctly. At the core of the shirt is a base color that stays with the shirt no matter what. Then the thermochromatic dye is completed over this base layer to create another color. The thermochromatic dye used in these shirts is very remarkable due to the fact that there is actually a change in tiny capsules when the shirt is heated and then cooled off. Thermochromatic dye are implanted into the fibers of the material and form smaller barriers and when these barriers are opened up (by heat) it will expose the lighter color base dye underneath. It is hard to believe that when wearing this shirt there are millions of small pockets of dye that will basically open and close based on the temperature of the material. So when you are seeing a change in thermochromatic shirts there is actually tiny capsules of dye that are opening and closing to expose the underlying shirt color. This technology has come along way since the beginning of its existence and there are even methods being used now where the dye will be permanently impregnated into the fabric. Sit back relax, don't worry to much about what happens behind the scenes, let you your shirt do the talking. Get ready for some more Change!
