Ultra-High Temperature Tags: A Simple Guide

Ultra-High Temperature Tags: A Simple Guide

Ultra-high temperature tags are specially designed labels that can withstand extreme heat, where standard tags would fail. They are commonly used in industries that deal with high-temperature environments like metalworks and heavy machinery. Read on to learn more about these unique tags.

What Are They Made Of?

These Ultra-high temperature tags are made to last – first of all from materials that are able to cope with very high temperatures without melting or discolouring. Secondly from durable steel plate.

Some Ultra-high temperature tags also have special adhesives for heat applications or are mechanically attached with bolts, screws, rivets, or welding.

How Are They Used?

These high temperature tags are designed to be reused. Typically applied not to the item being tracked but to a mould, jig, tray or shelf. Any container or stand that holds items being heat treated can be tagged for tracking.

These heat resistant tags are custom made so you choose the data printed on them. You can choose QR or other 2D codes, serial numbers, location codes, text (you choose the language), logos and barcodes.
Some tags even incorporate RFID chips that enable automatic data capture. This makes it easier for companies to manage and track items as they move through various stages of heating and cooling.

Who Needs Them?

Heatproof tags are primarily used in industries where products or materials are exposed to high heat. For example:

Steel and metal production – tracking items through casting and heat treatment.
Automotive and aerospace – used on moulds, trays, and vehicle parts during high-heat processes.
Food and baking – tracking items in baking ovens.
Glass and ceramics – managing items that undergo high-temperature firing

If your business involves handling products at extreme temperatures, heat resistant barcoded tags could significantly improve your tracking process.

Things to Watch Out For

Although these tags are designed for tough environments, there are a few important considerations:

Ensure you’re using the right tag for the temperature range. For example, aluminium tags can handle up to 600°C, while ceramic and stainless steel tags like the coated ceramic Tag can resist temperatures as high as 900°C.
Some RFID tags may need time to cool before they can be read properly after exposure to high temperatures.
Tags may have different levels of resistance to chemical cleaning or abrasion. For instance, the coated heatproof tag is designed to resist scratch damage and chemical exposure, including acids and solvents.
