Features

  • 3.5 mil white matte polyethylene is ideal for cryogenic specimen storage and testing applications: -112°F (-80°C) to 176°F (80°C)
  • Print-receptive film accepts UV and flexographic inks, and thermal transfer
  • High-performance permanent acrylic adhesive provides a good bond to low- and high-surface energy plastics, and glass for reliable performance in extreme cold temperatures
  • Backed with a 50 lb. bleached kraft release liner ideal for roll-form converting
  • Liner is suitable for optical sensing on most thermal transfer printers

Recommendations:

Since laboratory storage/test conditions and procedures can vary significantly, be sure to thoroughly test the labels in the intended process/application environment. To achieve ultimate adhesion in cryogenic conditions, labels should be applied at room temperature.
