Product details
BEHIC or Humidity Indicator Cards are widely used to measure humidity levels inside a packaged environment. BEHIC is a card on which a moisture-sensitive chemical is impregnated such that it will change colour when the indicated relative humidity is exceeded. It is an inexpensive and easy-to-use way to ascertain humidity levels inside sealed packing. HIC is impregnated with a chemical solution that changes colour with humidity. These cards are not precision indicators. However, they are good at telling the maximum possible humidity in a container. For example, if all of the dots are deep blue on a 6-spot card which is a 10 - 60% card, then it means that the humidity in that container is below 10%. This is helpful especially case of products which are to be protected from rust as basic corrosion occurs only when the humidity levels exceed 40%. The indication of Humidity also helps us prevent the products from mildew and fungus. Uses of BEHIC (a) Electronic components & Electrical Components. (b) Automobile & Automotive Parts. (c) Glass & related products. (d) Metal & Fabrication made from metals. (e) Wooden articles, Furniture, Pallets & Crates. (f) Food & Packed products. (g) Agri & Commodity Produce Tea, Coffee, Rice, and Pulses which are very sensitive to moisture. (h) Bulk Chemicals, Minerals, etc. (i) API, Pharmaceuticals, Bulk Drugs (j) In-home for various articles like electronics, beddings, quilts, shoes, cupboards, etc. Types The most common BEHIC change colour from blue (less than indicated RH level) to pink (greater than indicated RH level). They are available in many configurations and used in many applications like metals, health and diagnostic equipment, military equipment, machinery parts, tools fixtures and practically any product which can be affected due to moisture and humidity. • 6 Spot BEHIC: These are the most common HIC and have spots from 10% - 60% Humidity • 4 Spot BEHIC: These are used for preservation and packing use for specific environments and have spots from 10% - 40% • 3 Spot BEHIC: These have been produced to adhere to semi-conductor packing norms and have spots in the range from 5% - 15%. • Single spot and special 10% - 90% spot cards are also available.
