The TLC-100 is a Thermochromic Liquid Crystal Kit designed for heat transfer studies and mapping temperature fields on electronic components or boards. The TLC-100 features thermochromic liquid crystals (TLCs) which change color at a specified temperature starting at red, changing to green then blue. For electronics cooling applications, this provides the user accurate information about the location of hot spots on a device, their temperature and temperature gradient.

Kit Contents:

• An airbrush for coating the component or board’s surface with black backing ink and liquid crystals.
• Air hose with couplings, valve for propellant cans and a 1/4-inch pipe adapter for use with an air compressor
• Two 30 ml bottles of Thermochromic Liquid Crystals (temperature ranges specified when ordering).
• One 30 ml bottle of sprayable black backing ink for pre-treating the surface to be studied.
• Two glass jars, which attach to the airbrush, for dispensing ink and liquid crystals.
• Two portable and disposable, 340 g (12 oz.) cans of CFC-free airpropellant. (only included in U.S. Sale)
• TLC-100-DIST is shipped with a compressor
