Abstract
A vapor-phase moving-boundary indicator, is described, which is useful for monitoring the time-temperature histories of perishable articles. The device functions by allowing a vapor to permeate through a porous substrate coated with an indicating solid which undergoes a color change upon contact with the vapor. As the vapor permeates through the substrate, a visible moving boundary is created between two colors and it advances as a function of time and temperature. This provides a visual record of the time-temperature exposure of the article.
