reaTextile
reaTextile standard
A self-adhesive temperature measuring strip on a paper backing, specially developed for the textile industry — heat-setting, drying and fabric finishing. Each strip carries 10 precisely calibrated points spanning 121–224°C, uncovered for the fastest possible response. Once a point’s threshold is reached, it changes colour permanently and irreversibly from white to black within 1–2 seconds. Supplied in booklets of 10 individual indicator strips (100 strips = 10 booklets).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| TEX.TSX.10 | 121–224°C | 121, 132, 149, 160, 166, 171, 193, 199, 209, 224 | 250, 270, 300, 320, 330, 340, 380, 390, 408, 435 |
Reference code and measurement points cross-referenced from Reatec’s official reaTextile standard product listing (reatec.ch); Fahrenheit values confirmed directly against the site’s own temperature filter.
How It Works
Stick the self-adhesive strip onto the fabric, heating plate or the object to be measured — no tools or power required.
Each of the 10 points reacts individually once its own threshold temperature is reached.
The colour change is permanent and irreversible, staying visible even after cooling.
Read the result instantly — no interpretation or additional device needed.
