Metalcraft High Temperature Metal Bar Code Nameplates can really take the heat. Made of durable anodized aluminum, these nameplates are ideal for applications with temperature requirements from 900°F-1200°F. And because it is made out of anodized aluminum our High Temperature Metal Bar Code Nameplates have many of the same benefits that our standard metal bar code nameplates do including an image that is sealed
within the anodic layer of the aluminum protecting it from abrasion, solvents and chemicals.

These unique nameplates are an economical alternative to other more expensive high temperature materials such as ceramic and stainless steel. Possible uses include work-in-process tracking or product identification.
Due to the high temperatures this product is exposed to, adhesives are not recommended, rather the nameplates should be produced with holes and attached with mechanical fasteners.
