Abstract
Safety in mechanical engineering is still a topical issue and preventive techniques can prevent workplace injuries. The article focuses on the introduction of a new thermochromic coating system, its development, and its properties. These systems can be used in environments exposed to temperature as an element of active safety. Therefore, if a worker notices a change in color in an exposed area, he will be visually alerted to unsafe contact or a subsequent burn injury. Two series of paints were created with different dispersion methods. The resulting coatings were examined in terms of mechanical properties and especially their color characteristics, which determine the quality and durability of the coating. We verified the safe applicability by long-term monitoring and we can predict the thermochromic behavior of the coating.
