Thorough testing in end-user application conditions is highly recommended.
Description
C-Kur™ – Destructible Cryogenic Tape
- Tamper-evident and destructible features ensure the labels cannot be removed without being destroyed and broken into small pieces
- Withstand immersion in liquid nitrogen and deep-freeze storage conditions
- Strong permanent adhesion
- Continuous tape format allows you to use as much or little as necessary
- Resistant to spraying and swabbing with alcohol and surface sanitizing wipes
This destructible tape is designed to securely identify cryo/freezer boxes, plates, vials, tubes, cryo cassettes, and other containers where visible evidence of label tampering is required, such as in pharmaceutical applications. Once adhered to the surface of the container, the cryo tape cannot be removed without being destroyed and broken into small pieces. Easily writable with our permanent cryogenic markers, the waterproof tape can be stored in laboratory freezers (-80°C) or transported on dry ice. This destructible cryo tape is also suitable for long-term storage in liquid nitrogen (-196°C).

Frequently Asked Questions
No, C-Kur tape is writable using cryo markers, and can not be printed. For printable cryogenic destructible solutions, we suggest Cryo C-KurTAG™.
Yes, C-Kur tape can withstand temperatures as low as -196°C (-321°F) and is well suited to long-term storage in low temperature freezers and liquid nitrogen tanks.
No, C-Kur destructible tape is best applied at room temperature. For labeling already frozen containers, we recommend TEQ-class tape, a line of cryogenic tamper-evident tape, specially designed for that purpose.
No, our destructible tape is not available in color. For tamper-evident tape available in a variety of colors, click here.
No, C-Kur tape cannot be removed once applied. Any attempt to remove these tapes will cause them to tear or destruct into small pieces, indicating that the tape has been tampered with. For more information, consult our experienced support team.
Yes, we have a selection of tape dispensers that accommodate various widths.
Yes, this tape can withstand heated water bath immersion (up to +56°C/+132°F) for at least 30 minutes if previously stored at -80°C (-112°F). For more information, consult our experienced support team.
Yes, the C-Kur tape will resist dry heat temperatures up to +100°C (+212°F).
Yes, C-Kur tape may work as tamper-proof (with or without wrap-around) in low temperatures and flat surfaces, such as -80°C freezers, boxes, and plates. Prior testing of destructible tape on your desired surface and storage conditions is strongly recommended. Please contact our technical support team to request samples.
Yes, our C-Kur tape is supplied on a liner, designed for residue-free removal, and easy peeling.
