Polyonics Expands Family of UDI Medical, Laboratory and Cryogenic Tracking Label Materials
Polyonics now offers a range of label materials designed specifically for laboratory, cryogenic and medical device tracking. The materials include thermal transfer printable Nylon, polyester and polyimide as well as UDI compliant laser markable polyimide. They also include aggressive acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) suited for a wide variety of applications including low surface energy (LSE) plastics, glass and ceramics.
UDI Medical Device Tracking
Polyonics UDI compliant laser markable label materials are ideal for tracking medical devices that are exposed to high temperatures and/or harsh chemicals. Their top coats are formulated to produce high contrast images that remain readable post process. Applications include use on multi-cycle high temperature sterilization and wash processes and high power electronics operating in harsh environments.
The materials comply with the UL/IEC 60601-1 and 61010-1 standards, and have been tested in 3000+ sterilization and 500+ wash cycles.
