Description
MetaliTAPE™ – Cryogenic Tape for Metal Racks
Cryogenic tape for identifying various metal containers for long-term cryogenic storage, as low as -196°C (-321°F). This cryo tape can be used to identify stainless-steel and aluminum racks, X-ray cassettes, film cans, and more. The tape should be applied at room temperature before being placed in liquid nitrogen or ultra-low temperature freezers for subsequent storage. Writable with our permanent cryo markers, this tape for metal racks can withstand storage in liquid nitrogen, transportation on dry ice, multiple freeze-thaw cycles, as well as gamma irradiation (up to 50 KGy).
Benefits:
- For use in harsh cryogenic conditions
- Designed for use on metal surfaces, including stainless-steel and aluminum
- Available in a variety of colors for easy color coding and identification
- Continuous tape format allows you to use as much or little as necessary

Frequently Asked Questions
No, MetaliTAPE is writable, and can not be printed. For printable cryogenic labels for metal surfaces, we suggest MetaliTAG™.
Yes, MetaliTAPE can withstand temperatures as low as -196°C, and is well suited to long-term storage in low-temperature freezers, and liquid nitrogen tanks.
No, MetaliTAPE is best applied at room temperature. For labeling already frozen vials and tubes, we recommend CryoSTUCK® tape, a line of cryogenic tapes especially designed for that purpose.
No, MetaliTAPE is not intended to be applied over a metal edge or corner, as this can cause the tape to flag or peel.
Yes, we offer our MetaliTAPE in a variety of colors.
No, MetaliTAPE is coated with a permanent adhesive, that is not made for easy removal. For removable labels for metal surfaces, see here.
Yes, our MetaliTAPE is supplied on a liner, designed for residue-free removal, and easy peeling.
No, MetaliTAPE is not intended to be cut by hand. We suggest using a tape dispenser or scissors to cut the required length of tape.
