Popular materials selected to support the applications, compatibility tests, and technical insights featured in our journal.
Premium cryogenic label engineered for long‑term storage in liquid nitrogen (-196°C) and ultra‑low freezers (-80°C to -150°C). Maintains adhesion and legibility on cryo‑vials, Cryotube, and freezer racks without cracking or delaminating.
Premium solvent‑proof label engineered to resist aggressive chemicals including acetone, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), xylene, and ethyl acetate. Ideal for chemical drums, laboratory bottles, and industrial containers that require permanent, legible identification even after direct solvent exposure.
Premium polyimide (PI) label designed to withstand lead‑free reflow soldering temperatures up to 260°C (500°F). Amber colored, ultra‑thin, and highly adhesive – ensures traceable barcodes on PCBs through multiple thermal cycles.
Premium resin thermal transfer ribbon designed for printing on synthetic labels (PET, PI, PP, PE) that require superior resistance to heat, chemicals, and abrasion. Ensures barcode readability in outdoor, industrial, and cryogenic conditions.
