Kordsa to advance RFID technology in tires

Turkish reinforcement and materials specialist Kordsa has entered a partnership with German-based SES RFID Solutions to advance radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in tires.

The two companies will develop a small-sized, flexible RFID tag to be placed on vehicle tires prior to the curing (vulcanisation) process.

Kordsa will contribute its materials technology to apply the tags onto the tires before the curing process.

Prototype sampling is scheduled for the third quarter of 2022
