Abstract

Temperature indicators (TI) and time-temperature integrators (TTI) are more and more used to control and assess cold chain particularly, in food, health and chemistry sectors. These tools are used to monitor temperature-sensitive products. The time/temperature indicator is used to indicate, by a visible change of state, an overlap of a temperature limit, instantly or for a given period. It allows the consumption of a capital time/temperature set to be indicated by a visible change of state. The time-temperature indicator is easy to use, cheap and understandable by everybody.
