HUAYUAN has launched its HLT-RN Series RAINFC dual frequency washable RFID tags, designed to bridge the gap between supply chain management and consumer engagement in a single, durable tag.
The HLT-RN Series combines UHF RFID and NFC technology on one chip, the EM4425 dual frequency RAINFC. On the UHF side, the tags support ISO/IEC 18000-63 and EPC Class1 Gen2v2 protocols, operating across the 860-928MHz band with read ranges of up to 5 metres. This makes them well suited to bulk inventory scanning across warehouses, distribution centres and retail floors. On the HF side, they operate at 13.56MHz and comply with ISO/IEC 15693 and NFC Forum Type 5, allowing any NFC-enabled smartphone to read the tag at close range, up to 20mm.
What sets these tags apart is their durability. Built to survive over 100 industrial wash cycles, they can withstand the harsh conditions of commercial laundry processes, including high-temperature washing and industrial dyeing, without any drop in performance. The compact form factor of 80mm x 17mm x 2.0mm allows them to be heat-sealed or sewn directly into textile assets.
HUAYUAN is targeting several sectors with this release. In healthcare, the tags can be embedded into hospital linens and staff uniforms, enabling automated tracking through laundry and supply workflows while also giving clinical teams quick access to item data via smartphone. Hospitality businesses can use them to manage bedding, towels and floor mats more efficiently. Industrial workwear and facility management textiles such as mops and cleaning cloths are also prime use cases, where tracking wash cycles and asset lifespan is critical to compliance and cost control.
The fashion and apparel sector stands to benefit too, with brands able to use the NFC function to connect consumers directly to product information, authentication or loyalty programmes simply by tapping their phone against a garment label.
The tags carry OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 and SGS certifications, confirming they meet safety and quality benchmarks for textile contact.
For businesses looking to combine operational efficiency with consumer-facing digital experiences, the HLT-RN Series offers a practical, wash-proof solution that works across both UHF infrastructure and the smartphones already in everyone’s pockets.
