What are the differences between Brass, Aluminum and Stainless Steel Tags?

Without knowing the differences between the 3 metals it may be hard to decide which metal tag would be best for your asset identification application.  Here is a brief description for each metal that will help you make an educated decision.

Brass - Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. It is distinguishable by its gold color. Brass tags can be used indoors or outside, they have good scratch resistance and withstand a temperature maximum of 1,200°F.

Aluminum – Aluminum is a softer and more pliable metal. Aluminum tags can be bent by hand, making them excellent for use on slightly curved surfaces. Use indoors or outside. Aluminum tags scratch easily, but have good chemical resistance and can withstand a temperature maximum of 1,000°F.

Stainless Steel – Stainless Steel tags are tough enough for the harshest environments. They can be used indoors or outside and resist corrosion associated with moist air and water. Stainless Steel tags have a shinier finish than Aluminum and have excellent resistance to scratching and chemicals. They can withstand a temperature maximum of 1,200°F.
