Low-Outgassing Labels Identify Instruments on the International Space Station

CILS has developed a computer-printable, durable label for the identification of instruments on the Columbus Space Module, part of the International Space Station (ISS). The labels were required to comply with the ASTM E595 standard developed by NASA for low outgassing to prevent contamination in the high vacuum environment. Additionally, the label material was specified to survive extreme temperatures, chemicals, and solvents.
