Avery Dennison RFID Blocking Material Earns UL Classification
When applied to surfaces such as walls and doors, ShieldSense reportedly creates a barrier that restricts RFID waves from traveling beyond its perimeters.
Avery Dennison Performance Tapes recently announced that its ShieldSense™ RFID blocking material is now classified to UL 723 (ASTM E84) to meet building and fire safety codes for surface burning characteristics. This certification allows ShieldSense to be installed in new construction buildings that incorporate RFID. ShieldSense, a lightweight aluminum foil material that allows RFID-enabled inventory systems to maximize effectiveness by isolating waves within specific environments, has reportedly demonstrated performance for flame spread and smoke characteristics through testing to UL 723 and compliance with code requirements.
When applied to surfaces such as walls and doors, ShieldSense reportedly creates a barrier that restricts RFID waves from traveling beyond its perimeters, such as stockrooms. By preventing RFID waves from traveling area to area, retailers can gain a clear picture of inventory location within the specific environment.
