Flexcon® PharmCal® CryoFlex™ 070806
Engineered Material for Extreme Storage Conditions - Liquid Nitrogen
Request informationBenefits
- Topcoat allows for smudge proof and abrasion resistant thermal transfer printing
- Engineered product can withstand temperatures as low as -320.8oF (-196oC), making it suitable for use in liquid nitrogen at its boiling point
- Adhesive is engineered to survive extreme temperature cycling including exposure to liquid nitrogen
- Helps to support sustainability efforts and provides the same performance level as a standard polyester liner
- Overall thinner product construction yields more labels per same diameter roll yielding less changeover

Features
- Topcoated 1.0 mil clear matte polypropylene
- Printable via resin & wax/resin thermal transfer; UV & solvent screen; UV, solvent & water flexo; laser (toner); and narrow-format UV inkjet
- Permanent high-tack cold temperature adhesive design for application to glass and plastic tubes and vials
- 1.2 mil polyester release liner manufactured from up to 30% PCW content
- Release liner provides a good diecutting base and allows for high-speed dispensing
Additional Details
- Product complies with 21 CFR 175.105, REACH, and RoHS/WEE
- No raw component substitutions without six-month advance change notification
- Compatible sterilization methods
- Gamma Sterilization (maximum dose~20kGy)
- ETO Sterilization (maximum concentration~400 mg/L)
- Dry heat (recommended 70oF for label itself)
- Autoclave (recommended only after applying the labels to vials)
Note: For optimum performance in cryogenic environments, die cut the labels so that the longer dimension is parallel with the machine direction (MD) of the material.
