The Humidity Indicator Card (HICs) features moisture-sensitive spots which detect and change colour from blue to pink according to the humidity level in the surrounding environment, functioning as a visual alert that the product is exposed to unacceptably high humidity levels. Usually packed together with a moisture bag and desiccant, the HICs are a small, cost-effective, and easy to read device, capable of providing reliable humidity readings. HICs meets military specs requirements with the 30%, 40%, 50% HIC , 5%, 10%, 15% HICs and the 5%, 10%, 60% HICs complying with JDEC Standard. Humidity Indicator Cards are available in two different models, Cobalt Dichloride Free and Cobalt Free to suit different needs and applications.
Cobalt Dichloride Free Humidity Indicator cards (also known as blue humidity indicator card) are impregnated with a carefully mixed solution of cobalt chloride. This solution allows the card to detect and change colour from blue to pink once when that certain relative humidity level has reached.
It is available in RH levels ranging from 5% to 60%.
Cobalt Free Humidity Indicator Cards (also known as brown humidity indicator card) have a copper chloride base that detects humidity and enables colour change from brown to azure (blue). These humidity sensor cards were developed to be free of cobalt chloride, making them safer to use. They are compliant with the European Community Council Directive 67 /548/ECC.
It is available in RH levels ranging from 5% to 60%.
