Types of Material

Polymer

These RFID tags are constructed using high-temperature resistant engineering polymers combined with specialized on-metal RF tuning to ensure stable performance in extreme conditions. The rugged outer encapsulation protects the internal chip and antenna from thermal shock, vibration, moisture, and mechanical pressure. This advanced material composition allows the tag to retain structural integrity and read reliability even after repeated exposure to intense heat, making it highly suitable for long-term use on small metal assets in demanding industrial and medical environments.
