RFID Tag Submersed in Water – Will it Survive?
Metalcraft VideosIn this video, Colynn Black tests the durability of a dry RFID inlay by submerging it in water for 60 seconds to see if it affects the tag’s readability. Using an RFID reader and software from Grey Trunk RFID, the tag remained fully functional after the brief water exposure. However, Colynn notes that prolonged exposure to water could cause damage, leading to tag failure. This experiment highlights the resilience of RFID tags in short-term wet conditions but emphasizes the importance of using waterproof tags for long-term water exposure. For effective RFID use, selecting the right tag for your environment is essential.
