Autoclaving Tape (also known as steam indicator tape) is a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape used to seal sterilization wraps and indicate exposure to steam sterilization processes. It provides a visual confirmation that a pack has undergone autoclaving.
Key Features:
-
Material: Crepe paper backing with heat-sensitive chemical indicator ink
-
Adhesive Type: Strong, pressure-sensitive adhesive for secure sealing
-
Indicator Markings: Printed stripes that change color after exposure to steam sterilization (typically beige to dark brown/black)
-
Temperature Compatibility: Designed for use in standard steam autoclave cycles (121°C–134°C)
-
Residue: Removes cleanly without leaving adhesive residue
-
Sizes Available: Various widths (e.g., 12mm, 18mm, 24mm) and standard roll lengths
Applications:
Used in hospitals, dental clinics, laboratories, and sterilization departments to secure instrument packs and provide process indication during autoclaving.
Important Note:
Autoclaving tape indicates exposure to the sterilization process but does not confirm sterility of the contents. For sterility assurance, biological or chemical indicators should also be use
