When it comes to shipping or storing moisture-sensitive goods like electronics, semiconductors, or pharmaceuticals, humidity control is critical. A small rise in humidity inside sealed packaging can lead to corrosion, mold, or even product failure. Texas Technologies carries a variety of solutions to keep moisture at bay during shipping and storage such as Humidity Indicator Cards (HICs) and desiccant plugs. Learn more about these products to keep your shipments dry from packaging to purchase.
What Are Humidity Indicator Cards?
Humidity Indicator Cards, or HICs, are small, chemically treated paper cards that visually display relative humidity (RH) levels inside sealed packaging. As humidity rises or falls, the cards change color—alerting you when it’s time to inspect the product or replace desiccants. Our reversible HICs show blue when humidity is low, lavender at the target RH, and pink when it’s too high. They’re simple, reliable, and reusable.
Need a safer, regulation-compliant option? Our Cobalt Dichloride-Free HICs meet JEDEC J-STD-033B and REACH requirements, making them ideal for industries with strict environmental and safety standards.
Humidity Indicator & Desiccator Plugs
Want to monitor humidity without opening containers? Our indicator plugs and desiccator plugs are installed directly into sealed packaging. They show internal RH levels through a clear window—and some even include a built-in desiccant for added protection.
Perfect for:
- Military & aerospace packaging
- Electrical housings
- Long-term storage containers
Why It Matters
Moisture damage = lost revenue. HICs and plugs help prevent container rain, corrosion, and costly spoilage. Combined with desiccants like Container Dri® II Plus, you’ll keep your cargo protected across sea, rail, or road. Your sensitive products will arrive safe and dry for your customers.
