Fujifilm Heat Distribution Measurement

Thermoscale is a temperature-sensing device – a thin and flexible film that quickly measures heat and heat fluctuation. This makes it ideal for measuring areas where other heat transducer methods cannot be used. You can also use these for heat seals and any areas where the surface will be in motion.

FAQs

What is Fujifilm THERMOSCALE film?

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.

How does it work?

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.

What are some common applications for THERMOSCALE?

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.

What temperature range can it measure?

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.

Can films be reused?

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.

Does pressure affect the results?

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