Abstract

This work presents the fabrication of the granular humidity indicator for the monitor of the relative moisture in the outdoor environment or in the enclosed areas such as bags, containers, enclosed rooms, boxes which are used for the storage of the weapons and military equipment, food preservation, seed storage in agriculture, controlling fermentation process as well as the plants growing process, etc. Moisture indicator was fabricated from cobalt chloride, desiccant, color-stabilizing agents, and silica gel particles. The obtained indicator can measure the relative humidity in the range of 30 to 70 based on the color changing from the indicator.
