How it works

The thermochromic infused silicone causes the color to change from dark brown to orange at approximately 131°f and above. The color will remain orange until the barrel temperature drops below 131°f, at which point FLARE Micro™ will turn dark brown indicating the barrel is now cool enough to touch or store. Orange was chosen to accommodate the two most common types of colorblindness as it can be seen more easily by both.

Note: extended operation over 400ºf can result in breakdown of thermochromic properties.
