Detailed product information

Foam-adhesive UHF RFID tag for ETSI/FCC metal cylinder and RTI tracking

CylTag™ is a QUICK-TO-ATTACH on-metal UHF RFID hard tag for cylindrical metallic returnable transport items (RTIs), such as beer kegs and gas cylinders. A high-performance foam adhesive backing lets the tag conform to the curvature of the metal surface and bond securely – eliminating the need for time-consuming and expensive welding or brackets.

The tag supports both ETSI and FCC frequency ranges, making it suitable for global deployments.

Key Features

  • QUICK-TO-ATTACH foam adhesive backing – Fast installation on metal cylinders without drilling or welding.

  • Universal cylinder fit – One tag size covers the majority of common cylinder diameters.

  • High durability – Resistant to high-pressure and high-temperature chemical washing.

  • Optional metal over-ring – A metal over-ring can be MIG welded to the metallic RTI to provide additional mechanical protection for the tag in harsh environments.

  • Personalization – Laser engraving (logos, IDs, barcodes) and RFID encoding available.

Applications

  • Breweries – Tracking beer kegs and other metallic RTIs.

  • Healthcare – Identification and tracking of medical gas cylinders and other metal containers.

  • Oil & Gas – Cylinders, tanks and metallic RTIs in demanding outdoor environments.

  • Chemical manufacturing – Container and cylinder tracking through aggressive cleaning processes.
