    PRESCALE

    Film rolls are continuous lengths of film designed for cutting to size, ideal for large or repeated testing areas such as rollers, seals, and production lines. They offer flexibility for multiple tests or long contact surfaces where a single sheet wouldn’t be sufficient.

    Common applications include:

    • Measuring roller & nip pressure
    • Checking heat-seal uniformity
    • Testing pressure balance
    • Monitoring contact uniformity (large)
    • Verifying roller alignment
  • fujifilm prescale sheets all pressure packaging boxes combo pressure metrics

    PRESCALE Sheets

    Film sheets are pre-cut, ready-to-use pieces for quick or one-time measurements. They’re convenient for smaller components, field testing, or lab work where precision and ease of handling matter more than coverage area.

    Common applications include:

    • Evaluating gasket & seal pressure
    • Measuring clamping & bolting force
    • Checking contact uniformity (small)
    • Analyzing mold & press pressure
    • Validating medical device or packaging seals

Prescale applications

PRESCALE is a pressure-sensitive film that changes color according to the amount and distribution of applied pressure, providing a clear visual map of contact uniformity.

The film contains microcapsules that burst under pressure, releasing a color-forming agent. The color density increases where pressure is higher, making it easy to see uneven load or gaps between surfaces.

PRESCALE is widely used in automotive, packaging, medical, electronics, and tooling industries to verify uniform pressure in gaskets, laminations, molds, heat-seals, and roller systems.

PRESCALE covers a wide range from approximately 0.2 to 300 MPa (30 to 43,500 psi), depending on the film grade selected. Each grade is designed for a specific pressure range.

No. PRESCALE films are single-use only. Once the microcapsules rupture and the color develops, it provides a permanent record of pressure distribution.

PRESCALE works on most flat or slightly curved surfaces, including metal, plastic, glass, or rubber. It’s flexible enough to fit small gaps or complex shapes where sensors can’t reach.

Match your expected pressure range to the corresponding film grade. You can refer to Fujifilm’s grade chart or contact us for personalized recommendations.

UVscale applications

UVSCALE is a color-changing film used to visualize and measure UV light distribution and intensity. It helps identify uneven UV exposure in processes such as UV printing, curing, coating, and bonding applications.

When exposed to ultraviolet light, UVSCALE changes color according to the accumulated UV energy. The darker or more intense the color, the greater the UV exposure. Results can be evaluated visually or through digital analysis for higher precision.

UVSCALE works with a wide range of light sources, including metal halide, low and high-pressure mercury, and LED-based UV systems, covering a broad sensitivity range from 200 to 7000 mJ/cm².

No. Each piece of UVSCALE film is designed for single-use testing to ensure accurate measurement of UV exposure. After exposure, results can be documented or digitally analyzed.

UVSCALE is commonly used in UV printing, coating lines, curing systems, and quality assurance environments to verify light uniformity, detect lamp degradation, and optimize curing performance.

Yes. UVSCALE is ideal for confined or complex spaces where electronic sensors or radiometers cannot be positioned effectively, such as within roll-to-roll systems or enclosed UV curing chambers.

Thermoscale FAQs

THERMOSCALE is a heat-sensitive film that changes color according to temperature and contact time, providing a visual map of heat distribution across contact surfaces.

When the film contacts a heated surface, its special layer reacts to temperature, creating a darker color in hotter areas and lighter color where it’s cooler. This lets users instantly see uneven heating or thermal loss.

It’s widely used to check heat-seal uniformity, lamination balance, thermal press temperature, and tooling or die heating consistency in packaging, electronics, and composite manufacturing.

Depending on the grade, THERMOSCALE measures from roughly 80 °C to 210 °C (176 °F to 410 °F), covering typical sealing, lamination, and molding processes.

No. It is a single-use film. Once exposed to heat, the color change is permanent and serves as a record of the temperature distribution.

Only light contact pressure is needed for proper color transfer. Excessive pressure can blur or darken the image, so even, gentle contact works best.
