Tempilinks® are carefully formulated for use in chemical Indicator systems. The inks are designed to react to specific sterilization conditions and irreversibly change from one colour to a distinctly different colour, providing visual evidence of exposure to a sterilization process (sterilisation process indicators).

 

Different grades of Tempilink have been developed for the common sterilization processes. Available in both water and solvent-based formulations, Tempilinks may be printed on most conventional medical packaging substrates including medical grade paper, vellum, Tyvek®, films, and crepe paper.  Tempilinks may be printed on pouches, reels, tape, strips, labels, and other products to comply with ISO 11140-1:2014 Standards for process indicators.*

 

Most commonly printed using  flexographic processes, Tempilinks are also available for gravure and serigraph (screen) printing applications. They are used in virtually any application where a permanent means of confirming the successful completion of a sterilization process is required.

*Note: The ISO 11140-1 standard governs the performance of chemical indicator systems.  Inks are but one component along with substrates, printing, and processing.  By themselves, inks cannot be compliant to this standard.  It is incumbent on chemical indicator producers to validate compliance.
