High-Performance Film Exceeds Expectations in Radio Frequency Tags When O.T.A.-Bieletro, a Brazilian company specializing in solutions for identification and traceability, wanted a highperformance film for the encapsulation of its RFID tags used on a truck manufacturing line, it chose APTIV film based on Victrex PEEK polymer. The film offers properties including the ability to withstand the extreme temperatures encountered during the vehicle’s painting cycle without any loss in radio frequency signal reception capacity from the device. The RFID tag is a 0.5 mm thick sensor affixed on each truck chassis that remains there during the entire production process. ‘‘The critical point in the process is the painting line, during which the truck is exposed to a very aggressive environment,’’ explained O.T.A. director Xavier Landmarks. ‘‘The challenge was to find a material that is

resistant to painting cycle temperatures of 180, 200, and 220 C (356, 392, and 428 F). The tags are exposed to each of these temperatures for 1 h during the painting cycle. We needed a material capable of withstanding at least five of these cycles without any imperfections that might interfere with the readability of the labels.’’ Landmarks went on the report that the ‘‘RFID labels encapsulated with the APTIV film performed beyond our expectations, withstanding more than 10 painting cycles. In addition, using the APTIV film allowed us to significantly reduce our costs.’’ For more information: Victrex USA, Inc., 300 Conshohocken State Road, Suite 120, West Conshohocken, PA 19428; tel: 800/VICTREX or 484/342-6001; fax: 484/3426002; web: www.victrex.com.
Single-Component Silver Filled Adhesive is Electrically Conductive Designed for use in the electrical and mechanical bonding of semiconductor, capacitor, and resistor chips in microand opto-electronic hybrid circuit fabrication, 40-3910 is a single component, 100% solids, heat curing, electrically conductive epoxy adhesive.
