Autoclave tape/ Steam Indicator Tape

STICOL ® Autoclave Tape is an adhesive tape used in autoclaving (heating under high pressure with steam to sterilise) to indicate whether a specific temperature has been reached. Autoclave tape works by changing color after exposure to temperatures commonly used in sterilization processes, typically 121°C in a steam autoclave. STERIS Indicator Tapes are self-adhering tapes with a chemical indicator printed on one side. They can be used to seal packages that are to be sterilized. After processing, the printing will change color and provide a clear indication that the package has been processed. WHY INDICATOR TAPE? Productivity - Clear color change provides an immediate indication of processing.  Flexibility - Steam tape will respond to various cycles from 121 to 134 ºC.  Ease of Use - Additional information can be written directly on tape surface.  Reliability - Lot number on packaging for traceable results.
