Teflon® Coated Nameplates are easy to clean, acid-resistant and temperature-resistant up to 500 °F. Available with or without a barcode, Teflon® Coated Nameplates are ideal for customers who require permanent nameplates to stand up in extremely harsh environments. These nameplates are perfect for tracking assets, fugitive emissions and work-in-process. Their fast and accurate barcode reading makes the scanning process simple. Black copy, logos, and barcodes are photographically reproduced for maximum clarity and detail and then sealed within the anodic layer of the aluminum. The anodized aluminum combined with the Teflon coating makes these nameplates one of our most durable products.
Teflon® Coated Barcode Nameplates come with a standard adhesive that bonds extremely well to plastic or powder coated metal surfaces and bonds well to bare metal surfaces. This product is also available with optional holes for mechanical fasteners.
