OverviewIdeal for laboratory applications, the ultra-thin Brady polyester B-461 labels with a white printable (semi-translucent) area are suitable for flat and curved surfaces such as vials, centrifuge tubes, test tubes, pipettes and slides. These labels provide excellent resistance to smearing, solvents and extreme temperatures and perform reliably in common lab environments including liquid nitrogen storage and autoclaves.
Key advantages- Extreme environments – Suitable for liquid nitrogen and autoclave use; performance indicated between -196 and 130 °C
- Chemical resistance – Resistant to exposure to ethanol, toluene, isopropanol, xylene, DMSO, 50% acetic acid, 10% sulfuric acid and 10% bleach
- White printable area on transparent polyester with recommended black printing
- Certifications – RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, delegated directive 2015/863)
