Patent ID: 8182914

Claim:
A fluid contact indicator adhesive article comprising: a first layer comprising a fluid transport substrate, the fluid transport substrate comprising a low molecular weight hydrophilic polymer resin layer and a filler to control opacity of the substrate, the first layer having a first major surface that comprises the low molecular weight hydrophilic polymer resin layer and a second major surface; a second layer comprising a dry fluid transportable ink disposed upon first major surface of the fluid transport substrate, wherein the fluid transportable ink is capable of migrating through the fluid transport substrate when exposed to fluid, wherein the filler is present in an amount greater than 5 weight percent of the total weight of the polymer resin and filler combined, and wherein the second layer is associated with the hydrophilic polymer resin layer; and an adhesive layer associated with the second major surface of the first layer, wherein upon exposure to a fluid, the adhesive article undergoes a substantial color change on at least a portion of the fluid substrate.
