With the launch of the Enduro MD Shield, Sihl is introducing a versatile new program designed to serve two distinct markets: RFID/NFC protection and metal-detectable tags. True to its motto ”to protect & to detect“, this innovative product line offers secure solutions for shielding personal data as well as safeguarding industrial production lines from contamination.
Reliable RFID/NFC Protection
As contactless data transmission via RFID and NFC becomes more widespread, the protection of personal data stored on transponders from unauthorized reading and manipulation is becoming increasingly important. Enduro MD Shield effectively shields the resonance circuit of the transponder, making data transmission impossible. It distorts the transmitting frequency and reduces the reading range from a few centimeters to a few millimeters. Tests at wavelengths of 13.56 MHz have proven that RFID chips protected by this shield core cannot be read. These high-security properties make it the ideal choice for public services and administration, including ministries, police, and justice departments. Furthermore, it is perfectly suited for the high-security sector, such as finance, banknotes, computer services, and aerospace.
Detectable Material for Tags
In the food processing industry, metal detection remains the most reliable and cost-effective technology for identifying contaminants. The use of Enduro MD Shield tags features a metal-detectable inner layer that ensures reliable detection of metal fragments and foreign bodies during production, providing users and consumers with assurance, efficiency, and compliance. The material‘s high tear resistance ensures reliable identification and product traceability throughout production.
This makes Enduro MD Shield the perfect tagging solution for the food industry – also supports industrial bakeries, meat processing, dairy products, cooked meals, and pet food processing – as well as the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. A Declaration of Compliance for food contact is also possible.
Sustainable and High-Performance
Enduro MD Shield offers excellent printability, good flatness, and high temperature resistance. The portfolio offers various grades ranging from 155 gsm up to 240 gsm. Sihl relies on renewable raw materials from responsibly sourced origins and the reduced use of synthetic materials – without any compromise in performance. The product range is FSC® Mix Credit certified. FSC® stands for responsible forest management. (License code: FSC C005732, www.fsc.org)
