Process Indicator Tape

The Process Indicator Tape is designed to seal packs that are exposed to steam sterilization.

The tape distinguishes between items processed and unprocessed in both gravity discharge and pre-vacuum steam sterilization processes. Designed for use in gravity sterilizers operating at 121˚C for 30 minutes or pre-vacuum sterilizers operating at 132˚C for 4 minutes and 135˚C for 3 minutes. Easy-to-handle, adheres on contact and stays in place through live steam pressure. After use, the tape removes quickly and completely. Made of a saturated crepe paper printed with white indicator lines that turn black once exposed to the steam process. It is coated with a dry natural rubber based adhesive.
