Self-adhesive temperature indicators for reliable monitoring and documentation
Reliable temperature monitoring is a key factor in industrial quality assurance and process safety. KAGER offers a comprehensive range of self-adhesive temperature indicator strips and films with irreversible visual display – enabling clear, tamper-proof monitoring without electronics.
Two product groups are currently in particularly high demand: Tempstrip and Thermoscale. While both serve temperature monitoring purposes, they differ significantly in functionality and application focus.
🔹 Tempstrip – precise temperature monitoring at defined points
Tempstrip indicators cover a temperature range from 29 °C to 260 °C and are available as flexible strips or measurement dots. Typical applications include:
- Manufacturing and assembly
- Quality control and testing
- Product development
- Logistics and transport monitoring
They are available with 5-, 6-, 8- or 10-level scales and provide an irreversible color change, ensuring permanent documentation of exceeded temperature thresholds.
Key benefits:
- Accuracy up to 100 °C: ±1 °C, above ±1 %
- Easy handling, no power supply required
- Tamper-proof visual documentation
- Custom designs available on request
- Supplied as strips, dots, or roll goods
🔹 Thermoscale – visualizing temperature distribution across surfaces
Thermoscale multilayer films are designed for process-related temperature profiling in a range from 150 °C to 210 °C. They are ideal for applications such as:
- Process and simulation chambers
- Drying ovens and machine housings
- Pressure rollers and functional surfaces
- Lamination, photovoltaic and bonding processes
🔬 How it works: Microcapsule color technology
Thermoscale films contain a microcapsule layer that reacts to heat by creating a permanent color gradient, ranging from light blue to deep red. Color intensity reflects both temperature level and exposure time.
Advantages:
- Clear visualization of heat distribution
- No measuring devices or complex setups required
- Extremely thin – suitable for curved surfaces
- Available as 5 m rolls or single sheets (270 × 200 mm)
🔹 One portfolio – extreme temperature coverage
Tempstrip and Thermoscale are part of KAGER’s extensive range of reversible and irreversible temperature indicators, including additional strips, films, temperature paints and specialty crayons.
➡️ In total, KAGER solutions cover temperatures from –17 °C up to +1,270 °C.
