MyCol d.o.o. is women-owned start-up, founded in Mach 2017 by researchers from materials science, chemical and graphic technology, and environmental science. The group was gathered within the research on chromogenic materials at National Institute of Chemistry, Ljubljana, Slovenia. We aim to become highly competitive provider of innovative solutions for visual control of temperature and for registration of their changes in the past. In general, our product is a smart label with temperature-sensitive chromogenic material, printed in an arbitrary form which change colour if passing the defined temperature. The changes are seen by naked eye or registered by video camera, thus no electric supply or IT network is required. The products in MyCol’s portfolio are unique and have plenty of freedom on including design- and visual messages and assure control of different temperatures. With this we are able to assist in situations where overheating above the prescribed temperature should be noted in repeatable (reversible) or single (irreversible) way.
