UHF RFID Tags for tracking laundered items can be dry cleaned and ironed
Silicone RFID Laundry Tags from A.N.G are the ideal choice for tracking laundered items such as garments, towels and robes. Great for hospitals, nursing homes and the hospitality and garment industries. The 360° read profile means you can track the tags from any angle.
Flexible low-profile design offers versatile attachment methods. Sew these RFID tags directly into the seams and hems of garments, blankets and other products; heat-seal tags onto fabrics; or place them in small pouches, then stitch into a seam or hem.
The Silicone RFID Laundry tags can be dry cleaned or washed up to 200 times in hot, soapy water. Resistant to high temperatures, tags can be ironed at 200°F with a press cloth for up to 10 seconds, placed in a dryer for up to an hour at 185°F and/or sterilized in an autoclave.
A.N.G's washable silicone tags can be discreetly attached along seams, hems or cuffs

Results |
| Maximum Temperature |
Long-term at 10 hr: 248°F (120°C) |
No effect on tag. Tag remained the same in appearance and RFID performance/function. There was no sign of peeling, tearing or destruction. The tag read normal after the tests. *Test is not limiting. |
| Standard at 5 min: 281°F (136°C) |
| Short-term at 90 sec: 298°F (144°C) |
| Minimum Temperature |
-40°F (-40°C) |
| Temperature Cycling |
The tag was cycled to 298°F (144°C) at equilibrium for five times. Between each cycle, it was air cooled to room temperature and read with an RFID reader. |
