To avoid deterioration and damage of products or to achieve proper process conditions, environment and the indoor climate must often be within certain temperature and humidity limits.
Low relative humidity may dry up products and high relative humidity may increase the water activity and growing mould and bacteria in the production or process lines.
Recommended Relative Humidity RH in some common production and process environments:
