Abstract

The oxygen detecting composition of the present invention includes a layered silicate, a cationic surfactant, an organic colorant, a reducing agent, and optionally a basic substance. The oxygen detecting composition is suitable for indicating the presence or absence of oxygen or the degree of oxygen concentration by its reversible color change because of its high light resistance, high heat resistance, transparency and translucency.
