20mm PPS NFC Tag with NXP NTAG216 Chip – Industrial-Grade RFID Laundry and Asset Tracking Solution

Product Overview

DO RFID Reader presents the DO-PPS20, a 20mm diameter PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) NFC tag engineered for demanding industrial environments where standard plastic or paper labels fail. This robust tag integrates the NXP NTAG216 chip and operates at 13.56 MHz, compliant with ISO 14443A. It is specifically designed for applications requiring high-temperature resistance, chemical exposure endurance, and mechanical durability. System integrators, industrial laundry operators, asset tracking managers, and OEM project buyers choose this tag for its reliable read performance and long-term stability in harsh operational conditions.

Unlike ordinary NFC tags, the PPS housing provides sustained performance in environments ranging from -25°C to 180°C, making it suitable for repeated heat exposure, pressure washing, and abrasive handling. For bulk purchasers and project contractors, this tag eliminates the recurring cost of label replacement and reduces downtime in automated tracking workflows.

Key Features

Industrial Applications

The DO-PPS20 tag is designed for system integrators and project managers deploying large-scale identification and tracking solutions in challenging environments. Typical use cases include:

• Industrial Laundry and Textile Tracking: Embedded into uniforms, linens, and cleaning cloths that undergo repeated high-temperature washing, drying, and pressing cycles. Eliminates label peeling and barcode smudging common in hospital and hospitality laundries.
• Automotive Engine and Component Identification: Attached to engine blocks, transmission housings, and under-hood components where exposure to oil, fuel, coolant, and high under-hood temperatures is constant.
• Chemical and Pharmaceutical Production: Used for tracking containers, drums, and tooling in environments with solvent exposure, acid washdown, and autoclave sterilization processes.
• Underground Pipeline and Utility Markers: Buried or embedded markers for gas, water, and electrical utilities requiring corrosion resistance and long-term readability without battery maintenance.
• Automated Patrol and Location Tracking: Fixed-position tags for guard patrol checkpoints and warehouse location markers where impact resistance and weather durability are required.
• Power Infrastructure Identification: Affixed to electrical cabinets, transformer housings, and substation equipment in outdoor or dusty industrial settings.

OEM / ODM Manufacturing Support

do rfid reader manufacturer offers comprehensive OEM and ODM customization for the DO-PPS20 platform. Procurement teams and project integrators can request modifications to chip type, antenna tuning for specific mounting surfaces, custom UID encoding, printed logos or serial numbers, and packaging configurations suitable for automated dispensing lines. Our engineering team works directly with your technical staff to ensure the tag meets your system’s read range, frequency, and environmental compliance requirements before mass production begins.

For distributors and wholesalers requiring private labeling, we support custom branding on both the tag housing and packaging, with batch consistency maintained across production runs. Minimum order quantities are flexible for pilot projects, with scalable volume pricing for full deployment phases.

Factory Production Advantages

As a dedicated rfid manufacturer with focused production lines for industrial PPS tags, do rfid reader manufacturer maintains stable production capacity to support long-term supply agreements and large-scale project deployments. Key manufacturing capabilities include:

• Injection molding of PPS material with precise dimensional control for consistent tag thickness and airtight sealing
