Questions RFID converters ask
Do you supply water-based adhesives for RFID cards and labels?
Yes. Cattie supplies water-based adhesives in several types, including laminating and pressure sensitive, as well as hot melt and coating services. Tell us the substrates and your line and we will recommend what to trial.
Which Cattie adhesives are starting points?
Cattie's water-based adhesives, including its water-based acrylic PSA, low-viscosity PSA for foams, films and foils, and PSA hot melt for packing slips and security bags are starting points to discuss. None has been RFID-qualified by Cattie, so plan a trial on your construction.
Can Cattie give me read-range or antenna-detuning data?
Not today. Cattie has not published RFID-specific test data. Test samples with your inlay supplier and your read check.
Do you offer free samples and line trials?
Yes. Request a free sample or line trial online, or call 800-249-0337 or email sales@cattieadhesives.com.
Can you coat adhesive onto my web?
