The pigments take the form of a thick cream. The active photochromic dye is contained in micron-size microcapsules dispersed in This polyester fabric moves moisture from the inner side to the outer side by water to make up the pigment ‘cream’. It is especially sensitive to UV light capillary action (wicking). The moisture can move in only one direction and is which produces an almost instant colour change. The pigment then takes quickly isolated on the outside surface, from where it can evaporate, leaving several minutes to decay back to its original pale colour. When mixed with the inner surface dry. a binder (e.g. acrylic base SM76260 or acrylic paint), the pigment can be permanently applied to almost any surface.
