Abstract
An environmental exposure indicator sensor, such as, for example, UV exposure indicator sensors and its use with consumer bottles or containers is provided. Specifically, an environmental exposure indicator sensor, such as a UV or heat exposure indicator sensor is applied to the surface of a bottle or container to be used as a means of providing its user with information about the ambient environment (e.g., UV or heat radiation) incident on said bottle or container, and therefore the user's exposure to that environment.
Claims13
An environmental exposure indicating article comprising:
- a body defining an external surface;
- at least two indicator zones integrated onto said external surface of said body, said indicator zones being formed from different concentrations of a sensing material, the sensing material being selectively sensitive to an environmental factor and designed to undergo a visible change in response to an exposure to said environmental factor;
- and
- wherein the exposure to said environmental factor needed to activate the visible change in each indicator zone is dependent on the concentration of sensing material disposed in the indicator zone.
