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.
