Embodiment 1

[0012] First, use 35% ethanol and bromocresol green to prepare a bromocresol green solution with a mass fraction of 0.1‰; use 35% ethanol and bromothymol blue to prepare a bromothymol blue solution with a mass fraction of 0.1‰. With above-mentioned two kinds of solutions as acid-base indicator of the present invention, take magnesium chloride as hygroscopic salt, carry out acid-base adjustment by 1% dilute sulfuric acid and 0.5% sodium hydroxide solution, according to composition and weight thereof shown in following table 1 A solution for impregnating a carrier is formulated for the humidity indicator of the present invention. The prepared solution is used to impregnate the fibrous carrier according to the method well known to those skilled in the art, and the humidity indicator is obtained after drying. The discoloration of the humidity indicator was tested in different humidity environments, and the results are shown in Table 2.

Abstract

The invention provides a humidity indicator which is really effective in environmental protection and comprises a carrier and solution used for soaking the carrier; wherein, the solution takes 30-80% of ethanol as a solvent and contains 0.00862-0.00992% of acid-base indicator and 0.8-13.8% of hygroscopic salt. The acid-base indicator is one of bromocresol green, bromothymol blue, thymol blue, thymolphthalein, bromophenol blue, methyl red, methyl orange, methyl yellow , neutral red and phenol red or the mixture thereof. The hygroscopic salt is alkali halide or alkali-earth metal halide. The humidity indicator of the invention has wide indicating range (capable of indicating 5-90% of ambient humidity) and high sensitivity. Diverse humidity indicators different in discoloration can be manufactured by adjusting the components. The humidity indicator of the invention has evident discoloration effect, simple use, reutilization, good suitability and extensive application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a humidity indicator and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a cobalt-free humidity indicator and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Cobalt-containing humidity indicators contain a large number of carcinogens and have been gradually replaced by some cobalt-free humidity indicators. Existing cobalt-free humidity indicators basically use inorganic copper salts as effective components, by adding some hygroscopic salts (such as magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, lithium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium bromide, Magnesium bromide, potassium bromide, lithium bromide and other halides) are prepared. For example, Chinese patent application No. 200810218582.5 discloses a humidity indicator with copper sulfate or copper sulfate pentahydrate as an effective component. However, inorganic copper salts are basically toxic and harmful to the environment and human body, so this ...
