DESCO 3HIC125-CF – Cobalt-Free Humidity Indicator Card
The 3HIC125-CF is a cobalt-free humidity indicator card from DESCO designed for internal monitoring of relative humidity in sealed packages. The card features three indicator dots, corresponding to 30%, 40%, and 50% relative humidity (RH). The indicators visibly change from brown (dry) to yellow (humid) and are reversible, allowing humidity changes to be observed after opening the packaging.
Material and Function
- Material: Blotting paper impregnated with a non-cobalt based solution, as specified in the manufacturer's documentation.
- Color Change: Indicator dots change color from brown to yellow when the specified RH levels are exceeded; the dots are reversible.
- Primary Application: Monitoring humidity levels inside barrier bags containing desiccant to assess humidity exposure for moisture-sensitive electronic components.
