Description

The NXP UCODE 9 Liquid-Resistant White RFID Label 44x18mm (Model: U9-LIQ-4418) is a specialized printable RAIN RFID label engineered to overcome the severe RF attenuation and dielectric absorption caused by liquid-filled containers, cosmetic lotions, pharmaceutical syrups, beverages, and biological samples. Powered by the NXP UCODE 9 integrated circuit, this label features an advanced antenna profile that maintains high impedance matching and strong backscatter performance in high-moisture environments.

1. Moisture-Immune Antenna Tuning & Chip Architecture

Standard UHF RFID tags suffer from severe detuning when placed near water or aqueous solutions because water possesses a high dielectric constant (~80) that absorbs 865–867 MHz radio waves. The U9-LIQ-4418 incorporates a specialized dipole antenna layout combined with NXP UCODE 9's Self-Adjust dynamic RF front-end, delivering an exceptional read range of 4.0 to 8.0 meters even when mounted directly on plastic or glass liquid bottles.

2. Printable Matte White Face & Enterprise Compliance

The label features a premium thermal-transfer printable matte white synthetic polypropylene (PP) facestock that accepts high-density barcode and text printing using resin or wax-resin ribbons. Backed by a high-tack water-resistant emulsion acrylic adhesive, it resists condensation, spillages, and refrigerated cold-chain humidity (-20°C to +70°C). Conforming to EPCglobal Gen2v2 and ISO 18000-63, it is widely deployed across pharmaceutical bottling plants, agrochemical warehouses, personal care cosmetics, and clinical laboratories.

Questions

Why do standard UHF RFID tags fail when applied to liquid bottles?
Water and liquid solutions have a high dielectric constant (approx. 80) that absorbs UHF radio frequencies and shifts the resonant frequency of standard antennas away from the reader frequency. The U9-LIQ-4418 utilizes a specially compensated antenna loop and NXP Self-Adjust technology that pre-tunes the resonant frequency to match the liquid dielectric loading.
Can I print batch numbers and 2D DataMatrix barcodes on this label?
Yes. The label features a smooth matte white synthetic facestock engineered for high-resolution thermal transfer printing using wax-resin or full-resin ribbons on standard RFID printers like Zebra ZT411, SATO CL4NX Plus, and Honeywell PX4ie.
Is the adhesive resistant to refrigerator condensation and moisture?
Yes. The permanent water-resistant emulsion acrylic adhesive is formulated to maintain high bond strength under condensation, cold-storage humidity, and minor chemical wipe-downs in pharmaceutical and cosmetics environments.
What is the HSN Code and GST rate for liquid-resistant RFID labels in India?
These labels fall under HSN Code 8523 with an 18% GST rate. RFID Softwares provides full GST B2B invoices with input tax credit (ITC) across India.
Can this tag be used on carbonated beverage glass bottles or shampoo plastic containers?
Yes. It is extensively tested on glass bottles, HDPE/PET plastic bottles, cosmetic creams, personal care lotions, and chemical containers, delivering reliable 4–8 meter read ranges.
