Extreme Environmental Resistance in the Lab

Liquid Nitrogen Immersion (-196°C)

At cryogenic temperatures, conventional adhesives crystallize, shatter, and pop off vials. B-492 FreezerBondz uses a specialized cryogenic elastomer adhesive that remains pliable and bonded in both vapor phase and liquid phase nitrogen.

Solvent & Histology Staining Resistance

When printed with Series R6400 resin ribbons, labels withstand aggressive histology solvents including Xylene, 100% Ethanol, DMSO, and automated hematoxylin/eosin (H&E) staining protocols.
