Next, pressurized steam is introduced into the autoclave. The pressurized steam penetrates into the gas permeable bodies 15a and 15b from the small holes 16 of the outer skin 17, and penetrates and is guided toward the center of the indicator pack.
  • the vacuum pump When the vacuum pump operates normally and the air in the high-pressure steam sterilizer is suitably discharged, the steam is subjected to wet heat discoloration directly from the gas permeable body 15a or from the gas permeable body 15b through the gas permeation control body 14. It reaches the indicator 13 and the wet heat discoloration indicator 13 is colored. After completion of the sterilization cycle, the indicator pack is taken out from the high-pressure steam sterilizer, the outer skin 17 is broken, and the color development state of the wet heat discoloration indicator 13 is confirmed.
  • the wet heat color-changing composition of the present invention can be discolored by reacting a bismuth compound and a sulfur compound by heating to produce dark bismuth sulfide, but as an additive, at least one of phosphoric acid and phosphate ester
  • the degree of discoloration differs under wet heat conditions and dry heat conditions, or discoloration occurs only under wet heat conditions. That is, it is easy to discolor under wet heat conditions and hardly discolor under dry heat conditions.
  • the degree of discoloration can be adjusted by adjusting the type and content of the additive, the progress and completion of the sterilization treatment can be confirmed according to the degree of discoloration.
  • the wet heat discoloration indicator using the wet heat discoloration composition of the present invention whether or not the wet heat conditions suitable for the sterilization treatment are obtained when the high-pressure steam sterilization is performed, and whether the sterilization treatment is surely completed. It is possible to judge accurately.
  • Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 (Production of wet heat discoloration composition and wet heat discoloration indicator) Of the components shown in Table 1, the organic solvent and the binder were first stirred with a dissolver. When the binder was difficult to dissolve, it was dissolved by heating. Next, the remaining components were added and stirred thoroughly. In addition, a ball mill, a bead mill, or the like was appropriately used so that the target particle diameter of the bismuth compound was 0.2 ⁇ m and the target particle diameter of the sulfur compound was 20 ⁇ m or less. In this way, 15 kinds of wet heat discoloring compositions (inks) of Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were prepared. Using each of the above inks, printing was performed on high quality paper through a 250 mesh silk screen plate to form a discolored layer.
  • Test example 1 (discoloration test) For each wet heat discoloration indicator, using an autoclave (high pressure steam sterilizer: “FLC-H06SEZ” manufactured by Sakura Seiki Co., Ltd.), wet heat treatment at 121 ° C. for 6 minutes and 20 minutes, and 0.5 ° C. at 134 ° C. Wet heat treatment was performed for 1 minute and 2 minutes. The coated film after each treatment was side-colored with a Konica Minolta micrometer difference meter CR241, and the color change rate of 0.5 minutes and 2 minutes was calculated from the following formula. The results are shown in Table 3.
  • Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 From Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that by adding a phosphate ester, a color difference appears during sterilization and when sterilization is completed, which can be visually confirmed. Moreover, it can be seen that there is a large difference in color during sterilization and when sterilization is completed, and the degree of sterilization can be easily confirmed. Furthermore, it can be seen from Examples 1 to 4 that the reactivity can be controlled by the amount and type of phosphate ester added. Moreover, it turns out from Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 that it does not react by the dry heat which does not contain water vapor

Abstract

La présente invention s'attaque au problème de proposer une composition hygrochromique/thermochromique et un indicateur hygrochromique/thermochromique qui sont utiles pour détecter des conditions de chaleur et d'humidité et rendent également possible de vérifier la progression et l'achèvement d'un traitement de stérilisation conformément à l'étendue d'un changement de couleur. Le moyen par lequel l'invention résout le problème est une composition hygrochromique/thermochromique contenant un composé de bismuth, un composé de soufre, un liant et un solvant organique, la composition hygrochromique/thermochromique étant caractérisée en ce qu'elle contient en outre de l'acide phosphorique et/ou un ester phosphorique ; et un indicateur hygrochromique/thermochromique.
