Abstract
A moisture activated image applied to a base substrate, wherein the substrate is integrated into an article of clothing. The moisture-activated invisible image is created by applying a hydrophobic material and a moisture absorbing material in a pattern. The image would be concealed when the substrate is dry. When wet, the moisture absorbing material changes in shade or color and the hydrophobic material repels the moisture, retaining the original color. The contrast between the wetted material and the repelled material displays the image. The hydrophobic material can be impregnated within the substrate, applied to an exposed surface, or applied to a contacting surface. The moisture-activated invisible stencil technology can be applied for simple aesthetic applications or advanced for applications to identify wet objects. Other applications can include warnings for wet roadways, pool decks, umbrellas, and the like.
