Series:
ShockWatch

HeatWatch: This device indicates exposure to extreme temperatures above a specified threshold by changing from pink to red.

When you use ShockWatch Environmental Monitors, you can monitor the temperature of every shipment. You and your customers know whether your consumable products have been exposed to unacceptable temperatures — and whether the duration of exposure was long enough to compromise safety and desired characteristics during shipment or storage. You can also use the devices to monitor incoming shipments of raw materials, so you know whether your ingredients and raw materials are safe to use. These small, single-use devices adhere directly to the product or packaging and provide accurate, irreversible evidence of any temperature deviations.

Every type of perishable food and beverage requires careful handling. Use ShockWatch products to reliably monitor temperature and duration of temperature deviations so you can better determine the safety and quality of your goods as they move through the supply chain.

Please read the datasheet for more information.
