Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are pre-cure RFID-enabled bead labels based on an RFID inlay construction consisting of an aluminum antenna etched on to a high temperature resistant polyimide film that is connected to an integrated memory circuit positioned on the surface of the polyimide film. This RFID inlay being further inserted into an overall label construction having a plurality of layers that include, for example, a plurality of polyester layers and a plurality of high temperature resistant adhesive layers that bond/adhere layers together, the plurality of layers further protecting and insulating the RFID inlay while the label is bonded to the external bead (or sidewall) of a tire. The compositions/devices disclosed herein can be used for electronic identification when applied on rubber-based articles (e.g., tires) prior to being subjected to stress related to the vulcanization process and normal use of this article during the manufacturing process.
