Why NFC-embedded safety shoes are critical for chemical plants
Chemical plants need shoes that can withstand sulfuric acid splashes, solvent exposure, and extreme pressures, while also tracking assets and workers in real time. Etiquetas NFC designed for chemical resistance address dual challenges by:
- Enabling tap-to-scan device inspection in PPE areas
- Storing encrypted exposure logs for OSHA compliance
- Withstands more than 50 washes with industrial detergents
- Meets ISO 20345:2021 slip/oil resistance standards
Key challenges for footwear in chemical plants
1️⃣ Corrosion failure: Standard tags degrade within weeks in environments with a pH below 2.
2️⃣ Data loss risk: Corrosive cleaning agents can erase unprotected memory.
3️⃣ Compliance gap: Manual tracking does not pass ISO 45001 audit trails.
Acid Resistance Test: How Our NFC Tags Perform
Third-party lab testing according to ASTM F739 protocol:
| Chemical | Concentration | Exposure Time | Tag Survival Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sulfuric Acid | 98% | 24 horas | 100% |
| Sodium Hydroxide | 50% | 48 horas | 98% |
| Chlorobenzene | 100% | 72 horas | 95% |
| Hydrogen Peroxide | 30% | 12 horas | 97% |
Zero data corruption for tags encapsulated with fluoropolymer coating.
We can provide or customize NFC tags for the following scenarios
- Battery acid handling areas with pH 0-14 and 10kN compression resistance
- Pharmaceutical cleanrooms with 200°C autoclave resistance
- Refinery anti-slip boots with more than 500 bending cycles
