Humidity Indicator Card

Humidity Indicator Cards (HICs) monitor the moisture level of products in the packaging. The moisture-sensitive spots change colour from blue to pink based on the surrounding humidity levels. Typically used with desiccants and moisture barrier bags, the humidity indicators are compact, inexpensive, and easy to read.

Approved for use in MIL-I-8835 applications and comply with various standards such as MS20003-2, JEDEC Standard 033, and JEDEC Standard 033B. HICs are available in different humidity levels ranging from 30% to 60%.
