Epoxy Rugged RFID Tags for Demanding Environments
Epoxy Rugged RFID Tags are engineered for high-performance asset tracking in the most demanding industrial, medical, and environmental conditions. Designed with a robust epoxy housing, these transponders provide reliable data capture and identification even in the presence of chemicals, moisture, extreme temperatures, and mechanical stress. From factory automation to autoclave sterilization and plastic injection molding, Epoxy Tags maintain consistent RFID readability while being tough enough to withstand repeated exposure to fuel, oils, salt mist, and high-pressure washes. Their compact form and customizable surfaces make them ideal for seamless integration into a wide range of equipment, containers, and industrial assets.

Types of Material
Epoxy
Epoxy is a high-performance thermosetting polymer widely used in rugged RFID tags due to its exceptional durability, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. It provides robust protection for internal RFID components against harsh environments, including exposure to fuels, oils, acids, and moisture—even during high-pressure or high-temperature washes. Epoxy's strong mechanical properties offer excellent resistance to shock, vibration, and impact, making it ideal for industrial, medical, and outdoor applications. Its smooth, hard surface is also printable, allowing for barcodes or custom artwork, and it maintains performance across a broad temperature range from –40°C to +140°C.
Types of Detailing on Labels/Tags
Logo Printing
Enhance your brand visibility with custom logo printing available on both the front and back of the labels, ensuring a professional and recognizable design for all your products.
Sequential Numbering
Add unique sequential numbers on the label or release paper for accurate tracking, identification, and enhanced operational efficiency.
Encoding Data
Securely encode essential information directly onto the label, allowing for quick access and accurate tracking of product details, inventory, and more.
