Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a moisture indicator which discolors when moistened or soaked in water, and in which an image is rapidly damaged to become colorless. CONSTITUTION:A moisture indicator sequentially comprises a color developing layer containing inorganic metal salt or solid powder, inorganic matter and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin, a color developing layer containing two or more types of acid-base indicator having different discoloring areas or acid-base indicator, dye and cellulose resin, and a protective layer containing cellulose resin on a base material. Accordingly, the indicator is rapidly discolored due to adherence of water, dipping in water, etc., and becomes colorless through damage of an image, and hence presence or absence of the adherence of the water can be easily decided by visual observation even after the water is dried.

2. Description of the Related Art It is known that acid-base indicators have a color-changing region at a specific hydrogen ion concentration and have a property of changing color (coloring) within the color-changing region. From this characteristic,
Used in toys, stationery, etc. in the presence of alkaline substances. However, when alkaline substances are allowed to coexist, they may be left in the atmosphere (especially high temperature and high humidity),
Discoloration (coloring) will occur if you touch it with your hand. In addition, the color change (coloring) mechanism is a reversible change due to water, and when water evaporates and water disappears, it returns to the original color, so it is not possible to easily visually judge the change due to water adhesion or immersion. However, it could not be used as a water detection indicator.

On the other hand, detection of water adhesion and immersion is of great interest from the viewpoint of product maintenance in the electronic equipment field and from the point of quality control in the food distribution field. Among them, in the field of food distribution, it is considered that when frozen foods are thawed due to temperature changes in the distribution process of frozen foods, food safety is affected. However, under the present circumstances, there is no method for easily detecting the frozen food once it is thawed and then frozen again.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that a new oily color developing layer, a hydrophilic color developing layer and a hydrophilic protective layer are sequentially laminated on a substrate. The present inventors have found that the water detection indicator formed as described above is rapidly discolored by the attachment and immersion of water, and then becomes colorless after image destruction.

The water detection indicator of the present invention initially shows a color because it contains an acid-base indicator or a dye which shows a stable hue in the absence of water in the color forming layer. When water adheres to this, water permeates the protective layer and the color-developing layer to reach the color-developing layer, and is absorbed by the inorganic metal salt or the inorganic substance of the solid powder in the color-developing layer. The inorganic metal salt or inorganic substance that has absorbed water becomes a dissociated ion and binds with another acid-base indicator in the color-developing layer dissolved in water to cause discoloration. Then, excess water dissolves the protective layer and the color-developing layer from the interface with the color-developing layer,
The image is destroyed and becomes colorless.

The color-developing layer contains a solid powder of an inorganic metal salt or an inorganic substance and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin. The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer-based resin has excellent inkability with an inorganic metal salt or an inorganic substance, stability, and good adhesiveness with a substrate. In addition, since the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin is lipophilic, it quickly dissolves the hydrophilic color-forming layer and the protective layer in water and is excellent in image destructiveness. Examples of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin include ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers and halides thereof. Above all, a resin having a vinyl acetate content of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer of 15 to 40% by weight is preferable. Other urethane-based, polyolefin-based, and polyamide-based resins can be used in the color-developing layer, if necessary.
