The Importance of Adhesives in RFID Tracking

No matter what you’re tagging, you need the right adhesive to ensure your labels stay in place. 

Heat, rough handling, and dust can all strip off a tag that’s not stuck securely. This can upset inventory levels and throws asset management out the door. For that reason, it’s important to properly pair material and adhesive. Surfaces that are rough, oily, or painted will need special attention. But even bare metal can lose an improperly attached tag. When it comes to attaching tags, most companies rely on one of two methods:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Pressure

Most adhesives function like a sticker. You peel off the tag’s backing and stick it to the asset. This makes moving and removing RFIDs easy. Metal is compatible with a variety of pressure-based adhesives, including acrylics and those with a rubber base or extra-strong surface bond. Regardless of what type you need; our adhesive experts can help find a material that’s right for you and your business. 

Chemical

The most durable tagging systems often bond the RFID label to the asset. A variety of adhesives can be used for this purpose including epoxy, cyanoacrylate, and structural acrylic. Cyanoacrylate cures very quickly—often in a matter of seconds. While slower to stick, structural acrylics still dry relatively quickly and offer high levels of environmental resistance and above average peel strength. For applications that require chemical and water resistance, meanwhile, epoxy adhesives are the way to go.
