Autoclave-resistant labels for the permanent identification of medical instruments, laboratory glassware and various containers during sterilization processes. Suitable for applications where reliable and permanent identification is required during and after the sterilization process.
The autoclave labels are resistant to autoclaving, dry heat sterilization, gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide sterilization (EtO). They are designed for applications where permanent identification and traceability throughout sterilization processes are essential.
The autoclave-resistant labels are resistant to high temperatures, pressure and moisture and have a temperature range from -60°C to +150°C. They are suitable for repeated use in autoclaves and other sterilization processes where durable identification is required.
The labels are suitable for application on metal, plastic and glass surfaces and have been tested for 20 autoclave cycles at 121°C and 16.5 psi (approx. 114 kPa steam pressure). In addition, the autoclave labels are resistant to gamma irradiation up to 50 kGy and ethylene oxide sterilization (EtO). The maximum temperature may vary slightly depending on the duration of exposure.
The labels are water-resistant and resistant to mild chemicals and disinfectants used in laboratory environments.
Typical applications of these autoclave-resistant labels include surgical instruments, instrument trays, laboratory glassware, blister packaging, boxes, tubes, vials and other containers that need to remain permanently identified during sterilization.
The labels are suitable for use in healthcare, laboratories, the pharmaceutical industry and production environments, where permanent identification, traceability and resistance throughout sterilization processes are important.
Compatible with thermal-transfer printers from Zebra, Datamax O'Neil, CAB, GoDEX, Printronix, Intermec, Cognitive, Citizen, SATO and selected Brady models.
