About this item

• Steam Adhesive tape used in autoclaving (heating under high pressure with steam to sterilise) to indicate whether a specific temperature has been reached.
• Small strips of the indicator tape are applied to the items before they are placed into the autoclave.
• The autoclave tape is similar to masking tape but slightly more adhesive, to allow it to adhere under the hot, moist conditions of the autoclave.
• Diagonal markings contain an ink which changes colour (usually beige to black) upon heating.
