Filcoflex offers NFC chips as an optional product feature. Encasing the chip inside a polyurethane pocket allows welding or stitching to any flexible connection. This pocket also protects the chip from fluids, chemicals, and other influences that may damage the chip. But what is NFC and why should you use it for your flexible connectors?
NFC (Near Field Communication) technology offers the possibility to write and read a chip with any mobile NFC compatible device (iOs and Android) or with an NFC reader and writer connected to your PC. NFC uses radio waves, similar to RFID, but only operates in close proximity reading.
NFC chips are also called as NFC tags, smart tags, and info tags.

Printed Textile labels are stitched, offered for non-thermoplastic flexible connections. Logo’s, text and article numbers can be printed on these labels.
This textile label is mostly used for Filcoflex products made in PTFE, coated glass fabrics, coated Aramid / Kevlar fabric, Filter fabric, PTFE woven fabric, or other woven or braided materials. The printed textile label is stitched to the fabric or PTFE product as shown in the picture.
These labels have a good tear resistance but can also easily be cut off if needed. Each printed textile label is 55mm wide, and an endless length, the print surface is 50mm wide.
Filcoflex can emboss branding or logo’s on thermoplastic materials such as Poly Urethane and PVC. You can buy a metal tool which is engraved with the logo or brand, which allows us to emboss this logo into the thermoplastic product on 1 side (the outside). This way the branding is permanent but makes no changes to the inside surface of the product.
As a standard Filcoflex brands all their thermoplastic products with the Filcoflex logo.
Non thermoplastic Filcoflex products cannot be embossed, but if they are assembled with stainless steel flanges the stainless-steel parts are branded by etching the Filcoflex logo. The following items can be etched in solids colors only:
The standard widths are 24 and 36mm wide.
Filcoflex also welds on logo’s on PTFE film flexible connectors. These as a standard are the Filcoflex logo and are sometimes combined with flow direction indication for certain flange designs.
A thin layer of white PTFE film is welded on to the Flexible Connection body made from PTFE films. The minimum size is 30 x 100mm.
Custom logos or brands can be made upon request, a minimum of 30 logo’s needs to be bought, which we will keep in stock for you.
In some cases, an ID plate is required. Filcoflex can offer stainless steel ID plates, that can also function as serial number plates. These plates can be laser engraved or can also be etched.
The laser engraved plates are available to any custom size requested. We can engrave logo’s and text. All can be styled according to your requirements. Only solid colors can be etched, faded colors are not possible. We can only laser engrave plates, not round flanges, or tubing. All plates can also be supplied with holes.
Etching can be made in 24 or 36mm width, and an endless length. We can engrave logo’s and text. All can be styled according to your requirements.
