Impact-resistant housing combined with an ultrasonically welded seal protects the subsurface printed label and RFID inlay from harsh environments including harmful UV rays. Affixing methods include mechanical fasteners (standard) and/or adhesive (optional).

This revolutionary product line features surface-independent tags with a patented inlay designed to obtain excellent read ranges regardless of the surface - metal, plastic, or even wood. Custom programming matches the printed bar code information on the label allowing you the option of using both tracking technologies. No other RFID tags available offer these features!

Chemical Test Summary
In all cases, after 3 weeks soaking in these chemicals, all the tags and labels responded properly when interrogated with a handheld RFID reader, and all the bar codes except those soaked in acetone were readable with a standard bar code reader. NOTE: Samples tested with adhesive.

Temperature Test Summary
Heat Testing - Product withstood temperatures up to 240°F (115°C) for short term (10 minute) periods. They will withstand temperatures up to 160°F (71°C) for extended periods (tested for six hours with no degradation). The tests demonstrated that when the transponder was not readable at temperatures above 185°F (85°C), but resumed function when temperatures were once again reduced below 185°F (85°C).
Cold Testing - Tags were tested outdoors at 0°F and were readable, but read distance was reduced to half of the read distance observed at 60°F (15°C).
Read Range Test Summary
In many cases the tags read intermittently for longer distances than those indicated, however, the results reported below were for continuously responding reads.
