LAB Cryogenic Label Materials
Four temperature zones from liquid nitrogen to refrigeration, with nylon cloth, polyester and self-laminating constructions for biobanks and pharmaceutical R&D.

LABEL MATERIALS · APPLICATION ENGINEERING
Label materials,
beyond -196 °C
From coated paper, PP synthetic paper and PET polyester to polyimide and aluminium base, from -196 °C liquid nitrogen to 320 °C reflow soldering — BRD takes a pressure-sensitive label apart into four layers: print coating, facestock, adhesive and liner, and recombines them around the application.
GB/T 28439 thermal transfer ribbon specification
UL flame retardant · T702-RSFR
Batch-by-batch COC certificates
Liquid nitrogen immersion and reflow soldering testing
TEMPERATURE MAP
One temperature axis, five material bands
The same 'label' fails in completely different ways in liquid nitrogen, an ultra-low freezer, ambient warehousing, a reflow oven and an engine bay. Facestock, adhesive and coating must be rebalanced for each temperature band.
-196 °C
Liquid nitrogen · cryogenic
Nylon cloth / PET + low-temperature acrylic adhesive, immersible in liquid nitrogen; cryovials, microcentrifuge tubes, microscope slides
-80 °C
Ultra-low freezer
Polyester film + low-temperature adhesive; coloured borders for colour-coded sample or batch management
-20 °C
Refrigerated / general purpose
Coated paper, PP synthetic paper, general-purpose PET; logistics, warehousing, retail and routine identification
180 °C
High-temperature service
High-temperature PET, flame-retardant polyester, vinyl; electronics processes, equipment nameplates and cables
320 °C
Specialty high temperature
PI polyimide, aluminium base; PCB reflow soldering, engines and industrial high-temperature applications
MATERIAL SYSTEM
Four layers, eight facestock families
Take a label apart: the print coating decides whether it prints clearly, the facestock decides stiffness and weatherability, the adhesive decides how long it stays stuck, and the liner decides how smoothly it runs. Each layer has its own parameters; only in combination do they become a material.
Facestock system · 8 families
Coated paper, PP synthetic paper, PET polyester, PI polyimide, PVC / vinyl, nylon cloth, aluminium base and composite facestock.
Adhesive system · 5 families
Permanent acrylic, rubber-based, low-temperature acrylic, removable and high-temperature silicone, selected to the substrate surface energy.
Print compatibility · 4 methods
Thermal transfer, direct thermal, laser printing and inkjet / eco-solvent, each matched to a different coating and on-press process.
Functional materials
Flame retardant, halogen-free low smoke, anti-static, tamper-evident, reflective / photoluminescent, metallized and chemical resistant.
PRODUCT LINES
Seven product lines, from material to finished label
Materials are not sold in isolation: the facestock determines print quality, the adhesive determines how long the label stays put, and die-cutting determines how smoothly it runs — so the product lines follow applications rather than raw materials.

07 / RIBBON
Thermal Transfer Ribbons
BRL cryogenic resin and BR400 hybrid ribbons, matched to cryogenic, general-purpose and specialty facestocks.
View ribbonsWHY BRD
Material is the foundation; validation is the commitment
Labels most often fail 72 hours after application, or after the first high-low temperature cycle. We validate before the goods leave the plant.
A material platform
8 facestock families × 5 adhesive families × 4 print methods, combined to suit the substrate and service conditions, rather than one label sold for everything.
Extreme-condition validation
Liquid nitrogen immersion, freeze-thaw cycling, high-temperature reflow and solvent wiping, tested against real processes rather than paper specifications.
Custom engineering response
Custom shapes, colour coding, pre-printed barcodes and print service, with low minimum order quantities and fast sampling.
Documented compliance
SGS, ROHS 2.0, HF, UL and batch-by-batch COC, with complete technical documentation shipped with the goods.
APPLICATIONS
Six application areas, one material logic
Substrate, temperature, service life and print method are the four variables in material selection. The scenario changes which one weighs most.
