High Temp (+250°C), Autoclave & ATEX RFID Tags

KEY TRANSPONDER & INLAY ADVANTAGES

Engineered Performance for Extreme / +250°C / ATEX

+250°C Paint & Bake Ovens

Xerafy MicroX II and Confidex Heatwave survive hundreds of cycles through automotive cataphoresis baths and powder coat curing ovens.

316 Stainless Roswell Armour

Xerafy Roswell mounts inside an integral stainless steel bridge, withstanding direct sledgehammer blows, chains, and oilfield pipe handling.

ATEX / IECEx Certified Options

Pre certified passive transponders safe for petrochemical refineries, offshore rigs, chemical tank farms, and grain/dust ATEX zones.

1,000+ Steam Autoclave Cycles

Biocompatible ceramic and PEEK surgical tray/instrument tags survive daily +134°C hospital vacuum steam sterilisation.

IP69K Food & Dairy CIP Safe

FDA/food contact compliant housings endure daily high pressure hot caustic washdowns on stainless food vats and cheese moulds.

Deep Freeze to Oven Thermal Shock

Survives rapid thermal cycling from -40°C winter yards straight into +200°C curing or steam chambers without cracking.

Subsurface & Concrete Embed

Rugged brick and cylinder tags embed directly inside precast concrete segments, railway sleepers, and tarmac.

Gamma & UV Radiation Stable

Selected polymers resist UV degradation across 10+ years on quaysides and nuclear/medical irradiation.

Specified by GJBS UK Engineers

We match exact polymer/ceramic chemistry and thermal expansion mounting hardware to your process profile.

SURVIVE THE PROCESSES THAT DESTROY BARCODES

Automated Tracking Through Paint Ovens, Acid Baths, Shot Blasting & Steam

Printed barcodes burn off in curing ovens, get painted over on jigs, and wash away in caustic tanks, creating a traceability black hole right through the middle of manufacturing. Bolting a PEEK or stainless UHF transponder to every jig, mould, or autoclaved tray maintains 100% hands free AR-Trace visibility.

OIL, GAS, CHEMICAL & OFFSHORE COMPLIANCE

ATEX Certified Tags & Zone Safe Inspection Workflows

Tracking valves, hoses, lifting gear, and pressure vessels in hazardous zones requires documented ATEX tag certification. GJBS supplies certified ATEX transponders alongside compatible inspection workflows in AR-Tool Tracker and AR-Tracker.

TECHNICAL & COMMERCIAL FAQS

Extreme / +250°C / ATEX Buyer & Engineering FAQs

How long can a +250°C high temperature RFID tag stay at peak temperature?

Ratings depend on dwell time versus continuous exposure, for example, paint shop PEEK tags typically handle continuous +150°C indefinitely and cyclic bake oven passes at +220°C to +250°C for 30 to 60 minutes across hundreds of cycles. Tell GJBS your exact time at temperature profile so we pick the right grade.

Can an RFID tag still be read if it gets covered in paint, grease, or mud?

Yes! That is one of UHF RFID's biggest advantages over optical barcodes, nonmetallic paint coats, grease, concrete dust, ice, and mud are transparent to UHF radio waves.

Do passive RFID tags require special certification for ATEX zones?

Even though passive tags contain no battery, ATEX/IECEx inspectors require EN 60079 certified tags confirming zero RF energy storage/spark hazard and anti static housing specs in Zone 0/1/2 areas. GJBS supplies full ATEX documented tags.

Can we test high temp tags through our own oven or autoclave first?

Always recommended! Click Enquire for Prices to request test transponders to run through your exact thermal/chemical cycle.
