Clariant Cargo & Device Protection offers a complete portfolio of desiccants and humidity indicator cards for use in dry packing.
Industry Directory | Manufacturer
A leading manufacturer of packaging products for the surface mount component industry.
Desiccant works inside the Dri-Shield moisture barrier bags to absorb residual moisture and keep the contents dry. Humidity indicator cards monitor the levels of humidity inside the bag during use.

Humidity card should show actual humidity in the package accurately. If it shows below 10%, actual humidity should be less than 10%. There is nothing to account for from previous cards.

Clariant's new Humitector Type 2 Non-Reversible Humidity Indicator Cards contain a patent-pending non-reversible 60% humidity spot indicator which enables them to indicate whether dry packed surface mount devices (SMDs) have been exposed to high levels of moisture at any point during shipment or storage. This unique innovation offers a major step forward in preventing moisture-compromised surface mounts from entering production.

Customers must be able to rely on accurate humidity indication as an assurance of SMD quality and fitness for processing and use. Without it, they might accept SMDs from suppliers that have already been irreparably damaged by moisture during storage or transit. Or, they might approve for processing SMDs that have been improperly or insufficiently heat-dried. Beyond the processing questions, there are financial questions: Where did the dry pack problems originate and who--supplier, customer, shipper--is financially responsible for the damaged SMDs? In response, Clariant, the originator of the color change humidity indicator card, and a member of the JEDEC's Subcommittee 14.1, "Reliability and Test Methods for Packaged Devices," created a new "non-reversible" halogen and cobalt dichloride free humidity indicator card. This HIC combines two reversible indicators (5% and 10%) with a new non-reversible (60% RH) indicator spot. (Figure 1) The 5% and 10% reversible spots work the way similar indicators do: they change color from blue (dry), to lavender, to pink (wet) to indicate humidity exposure at the indicated levels. If humidity levels drop, they will gradually revert back to blue.

Each year the semiconductor industry routes a significant volume of devices to recycling sites for no reliability or quality rationale beyond the fact that those devices were stored on a warehouse shelf for two years. This study identifies the key risks attributed to extended storage of devices in uncontrolled indoor environments and the risk mitigation required to permit safe shelf-life extension. Component reliability was evaluated after extended storage to assure component solderability, MSL stability and die surface integrity. Packing materials were evaluated for customer use parameters as well as structural integrity and ESD properties. Results show that current packaging material (mold compound and leadframe) is sufficiently robust to protect the active integrated circuits for many decades and permit standard reflow solder assembly beyond 15 years. Standard packing materials (bags, desiccant, and humidity cards) are robust for a 32 month storage period that can be extended by repacking with fresh materials. Packing materials designed for long term storage are effective for more than five years.
Following the most rigorous quality standards, including strict color meter testing, Clariant's humidity indicator cards and humidity indicator plugs are designed to meet standards set forth by military agencies and electronic/semiconductor compa
