MyCol Ltd obtained prestigious EIC Accelerator project
MyCol d.o.o., start-up company of the National Institute of Chemistry, obtained the EIC Accelerator Horizon 2020 project. It is one of the most prestigious calls with success rate of around 3%.
The T-Sense Cold project aims to develop printed temperature indicators to monitor overheating of products in cold chain. The basis are thermochromic materials that permanently color when heated above a predetermined temperature. These materials are used as functional pigments in printing inks, which allows to print indicators on labels or directly on packaging. Such indicators are recyclable together with the packaging and do not represent an additional carbon footprint. No power supply is required or additional infrastructure, e.g. IT network.
Calculations show that they are by far the cheapest solution for the protection of temperature-sensitive products and are also suitable for everyday consumables. The project has been approved for a period of 24 months with over one million euros.
