Discover PermAsset®: Engineered for Reliable Asset Tracking in Demanding Environments
Intertronix PermAsset® is our flagship durable asset ID label and asset tag solution, designed for equipment identification, inventory control, and long-term asset management. As a USA-based specialist in high-resistance labeling, we formulated PermAsset® for exceptional durability and versatility—ideal for businesses needing labels that outlast their assets.
Why Choose PermAsset®? Premium Material Construction for Real-World Durability
- Facestock: 2 mil opaque white semi-gloss polyester (TC treated) – superior tear strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to heat, chemicals, abrasion, and UV. Lasts 5–10+ years in harsh conditions (far better than standard vinyl).
- Adhesive: 0.9 mil clear solvent acrylic permanent – aggressive tack, high shear strength, bonds reliably to low-surface-energy plastics (HDPE, polypropylene), metals, and painted surfaces with minimal edge lift or ooze.
- Liner: 3.2 mil bleached supercalendered paper – excellent release for smooth, bubble-free application.
- Total Caliper: 6.1 mils – balances ruggedness with flexibility.
Proven Performance Backed by Industry Standards
UL (MH8212), c-UL, and CSA (file 97198) recognized for indoor/outdoor use on electrical, industrial, and durable goods (check official UL files for conditions). Polyester complies with ASTM D1000:
- Machine Direction (MD): 21,300 psi
- Cross Direction (CD): 28,400 psi
Strong adhesion after 72 hours on stainless steel, treated HDPE, polypropylene, and aluminum—ensuring barcodes, serial numbers, or QR codes stay legible and secure.
Versatile Applications Where Reliability Matters Most
PermAsset® excels where standard labels fail:
- Asset tags & property identification for IT hardware, tools, furniture, and fleet vehicles.
- Barcode & QR code labels integrated with asset management software.
- Rating plates, instruction labels, and service labels on machinery, appliances, and medical equipment.
- Work-in-progress (WIP) tracking in manufacturing or warehouses.
- Indoor/outdoor use – resistant to weathering, cleaning agents, and moderate chemicals.
For added security, pair with tamper-evident options (e.g., void patterns) to create tamper-resistant asset labels.
Real-World Advantages Over Common Alternatives
| Feature |
PermAsset® (Polyester) |
Standard Vinyl |
Metal Tags (Anodized Aluminum) |
| Durability/Lifespan | High (5–10+ years) | Medium (2–5 years) | Very High (10–20+ years) |
| Chemical/Heat Resistance | Excellent | Good | Superior |
| Cost-Effectiveness | Mid-to-High | Lower | Highest |
| Adhesion to Plastics | Outstanding | Variable | Good (with prep) |
| Barcode Readability | Excellent (glossy/opaque) | Good | Excellent |
| Best For | Versatile indoor/outdoor asset tracking | Budget/general use | Extreme harsh environments |
PermAsset® strikes the perfect balance: more robust/professional than vinyl, yet more affordable/flexible than metal tags.
Important Note for Optimal Results
Like all pressure-sensitive labels, performance depends on proper surface preparation and end-use conditions. Test samples in your environment (temperature extremes, cleaners, abrasion). Contact us for free samples—customized and shipped quickly to validate adhesion, print quality, and longevity.
