Cryogenic Thermal Transfer Label Material and Laser- Printable Cryogenic Label Material

Cryogenics involves a deep freezing process that takes objects down in temperature below -112°F. The cryogenic process is often performed using liquid nitrogen for applications such as biological tissue conservation in clinical and hospital laboratories. Through this process, it's important to ensure samples are properly labeled and that the label can withstand extreme deep-freezing temperatures.

Polyolefin Labels

Polyolefin Cryogenic Labels is a 3.5 mil white thermal transfer printable label. It offers a -80° C performance for low temperature use. This material has been designed for use in various cryogenic applications including liquid nitrogen storage. These materials have been designed for use in various cryogenic applications including liquid nitrogen storage. Cryogenic labels resist moisture to repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Applications

• Cryogenic Storage
• Virology Labeling
• Genetics Labeling

Polypropylene Labels
White polypropylene film with a permanent acrylic adhesive that can be thermal transfer printed.

Applications

• Vials
• Test Tubes
• Plates
• Slides

Properties
These label products specifically designed to sustain the flexibility and adherence required when using liquid nitrogen during the cryogenic process. These products:

• Withstand cryogenic temperatures of -196°C to +90°C (-320°F to +190°F).
• Also perform in other difficult conditions such as dry ice
  (-80°C or -112°F), steam autoclave and gamma radiation.
• In addition, they are resistant to many chemicals including Xylene, Isopropanol, Dimethyl Sulfoxide and 10% Hydrochloric Acid.

The product should be pre-tested in the end-use conditions to insure that it meets the requirements of the specific application. Specification subject to change.

Nylon Cloth Labels

• Matte white polyamide coated nylon cloth with a permanent acrylic adhesive that can be thermal transfer printed.
• Laser-printable, matte white polyamide coated nylon cloth with a permanent acrylic adhesive and lay flat liner.

Applications
Due to the tight nylon weave, these products can be used when labeling small mandrel objects. Both products are ideal for laboratory identification such as vials, centrifuge tubes, test tubes, well plates and slides.
