The application of decorative films to flat or curved surfaces has revolutionised the look and manufacture of products including mobile phones, perfume packages, artificial nails, sunglasses - and even garden trowels ! These films are not on offer for student use because they typically use highly specialised heat bonding equipment and are usually only available in industrial quantities. Now, at long last, we have managed to source one of those amazing films that when applied to a surface causes it to change colour according to viewing angle. And it has a self-adhesive backing as so can be applied by hand.

The patented micro-thickness polyester film actually consists of no less that 250 layers that provide the amazing optical property of ‘colour switching’. Applied to a light surface the film ‘morphs’ from a violet blue to a pinkish red; on a darker surface, it turns from purple to gold. The film can be applied easily to any substrate including card/paper, plastics, and metals – with endless decorative applications. However, the functional uses are also mounting up – e.g., filters for windows and optical products, angular warning systems and even an original form of sundial.
