​Steel bar production requires HI-HEAT & tear resistant tags!  Products being identified may attain temperatures up to 580°C or 1100°F when leaving the cooling bed and are exposed to extreme weather conditions during transportation.

GRAPHIPLAST® tags :

• Resist exposure up to  580°C or  1100°F
• Offer excellent barcode readability once exposed to outdoor weathering
• Highly tear resistant for rough environment & open-truck transport
• Flexible attachment options - ​Clips

​​

Efficiency with the hybrid solution:

• A tag & label all-in-one !
• Tear resistant ; heavy duty tag attached to strapping
• 100% removable labels that peel off with no residue, a necessary for high quality steel
• Weather resistant labels and tags

​
Eliminates the use of plastic wallets  :

• Immediately cut cost by 50%
• Reflective plastic pouches impair barcode readability​

​
Sections require highly resistant identification being exposed to severe weather conditions during long distance transportation and outdoor storage.

​
The GRAPHIPLAST® solutions :

• Strong labels which adhere to oily, rough and dirty surfaces
• Durable adhesion when loose scale is removed & excess dampness
• Resist against severe weather conditions
• Various clips options available for secure attachment

Identifying Semi-Finished products offer many challenges:   adhesion to rough surfaces,  high handling by cranes and requirement for long outdoor exposure to all types of environmental conditions.     
 
GRAPHIPLAST® High temperature labelling :
​

• Up to 350°C or 660°F 
• Meets safety compliance when applied via the Industrial Applicator - refer to section Automation/Manual
• Durable adhesion to slabs, blooms & billets when loose scale is removed and excess dampness
• Resistance to extreme weathering & transport

Tubes and pipes require high tear resistant tags combined with secure attachment for high volume handling.
Various clips options available
​

• Oil & dirt repellant 
• High tear resistance
• Long-term weather resistance
• Bar-coding printable via thermal transfer or laser 

Wire Rod production requires extremely resistant tags being exposed to chemical processes and transported in open trucks over long distances.    Secure attachment is essential.  Refer to our Clip section.
