It is a pigment sensitive to sunlight or ultraviolet light. It changes from color to transparent. This process is reversible. It is available in blue, yellow, and purple.
It is recommended to apply Photopia® as a final layer over a traditional print. This allows the print to "appear and disappear," creating special effects.

- Concentrated PP and PE resin
Applications
Labels, graphic arts, indicators, security items, stationery, toys, textile printing. Plastic packaging and accessories. (Not food contact grade).
Photolock®
IRREVERSIBLE color-changing photosensitive ink for screen printing and molded plastic manufacturing. Colorless in appearance, Photolock turns blue when exposed to ultraviolet light. The ink gradually transitions from a whitish tone to dark blue as UV light exposure increases.
