TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a premium material widely used for animal ear tags, especially for livestock such as cattle, sheep, and pigs. It is commonly applied in both standard visual ear tags and RFID electronic ear tags for animal identification and traceability.
Key Advantages of TPU for Ear Tags
- Excellent flexibility & toughness: Does not crack or break even under long‑term outdoor use and animal movement.
- Weather resistance: Stable against UV, rain, high temperature and low temperature; resistant to aging and fading.
- Soft & non‑irritating: Gentle on animal ears, reduces inflammation and discomfort.
- Good chemical resistance: Resistant to disinfectants, detergents and common farm chemicals.
- Easy processing: Suitable for injection molding, printing and chip embedding.
- Eco‑friendly & non‑toxic: Safe for animals and meets food‑grade / livestock equipment standards.
