Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to confirm an indication irrespective of direction on the entire surface by mixing a deliquescent material and a developer in powder state, and performing dry molding. CONSTITUTION:A deliquescent material and a developer, which indicates color developing property by coming into contact with the deliquescent liquid, are mixed in the dry powder state, and dry molding is performed. Thus, the molded body in an arbitrary shape, wherein the developer and the deliquescent material are approximately uniformly dispersed, can be obtained in the state before the developer develops color. The indication of a humidity indicator can be confirmed on the entire surface of the obtained molded body (without directivity). Therefore, the molded body is scattered in dehumidifying agent, and the moisture-absorbing state of the entire body can be detected. Furthermore, the response property and the memory property of the indication are excellent. As the deliquescent material, e.g. salts such as calcium chloride and magnesium chloride are listed. As the developer, e.g. water-soluble coloring matter such as triphenylmethane-based material and azo-based material are listed. There is also pH indicator such as cresol red.

In order to check the memory property of the above humidity indicator, a hygroscopic agent obtained by mixing 2 parts by weight of calcium silicate with 1 part by weight of anhydrous calcium chloride, wet rolling granulation and drying ( Hereinafter referred to as a hygroscopic agent) 20
1 g of this humidity indicator was mixed with 2 g of blue silica gel in g, and this was sealed in a packaging material consisting of a moisture-impermeable transparent sheet on one side and an opaque sheet having a moisture permeability of 4700 g / m 2 · 24 hr or more on one side. After being left in an atmosphere of 25 ° C and 80% RH for 5 days, the humidity is 17 to 22 ° C and the humidity is 32 to 4
The humidity indicator of the humidity indicator and the state of discoloration were observed by leaving it in a room of 2% RH. The results are shown in Table 4.
