XyliTAG™ chemical resistant labels come in a roll format for printing with standard thermal-transfer (barcode) printers. The labels are constructed from a thin thermoplastic film and a permanent chemical resistant adhesive. XyliTAG™ labels printed with TC – class ribbons produce a print-out that is resistant to xylene and other harsh solvents. A transparent self-laminate is not required for protecting the print-out on XyliTAG™. The labels are designed to remain adhered to containers and microscope slides when exposed to chemicals used in histology and other laboratory procedures.
The following list includes chemicals that XyliTAG™ labels are resistant to:
- Xylene
- Toluene
- Alcohols
- Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO)
- Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK)
- Acrylonitrile (CAN)
- Eosin Y
- Hematoxylin and more
The chemical resistant labels are perfect for identifying all types of microscope slides. XyliTAG™ will not be colored by histological stains such as eosin Y and hematoxylin. Xylene resistant labels could withstand temperatures as low as -40 ºF (-40 ºC) and as high as 248 °F (120 °C).The labels are resistant to repeat chemical exposures.
XyliTAG™ labels should be printed with TC – class ribbons
XyliTAG™ labels can be printed with all major brands of thermal-transfer printers (Zebra, Citizen, Datamax, Sato, etc.)
