TEMPERATURE INDICATORS - TIMESTRIP

Description of temperature indicators Timestrip

The timestrip indicator Timestrip PLUS allow you to see how long your products have been exposed to high temperatures. The portable temperature indicator provide a test of the duration of a temperature gap greater than the maximum depending on the indicator used. Unlike others, temperature indicators Timestrip PLUS remain inert until activated and have no special storage or shipping requirements.

To proceed with its activation it is necessary to press the activation blister. Once tightened, the activation confirmation window will fill with color, which shows that the indicator is “ON” and is already sensitive to the increase in temperature. The temperature label indicators Timestrip PLUS can be attached directly to your product thanks to its adhesive back.

After the temperature exceeds the maximum based on the indicator Timestrip used, the second window will fill with color, moving along the time markers to show you how long the temperature increase lasted.

Within the temperature indicators Timestrip PLUS, a wide range of specific indicators can be differentiated (see their different characteristics in the table on this page), among which the temperature indicators Timestrip PLUS DUO should be highlighted. This Timestrip indicator differs from those explained above because it allows knowing if your products have been exposed to higher temperatures at two different ranges (10ºC and 34ºC). In a similar way, the temperature indicators Timestrip Complete Card is a product used in the cold chain that allows to control that the temperature of the products does not go outside a specific interval (between 2ºC-8ºC and between 0ºC-8ºC).
