Definitions
- the present invention relates to an ear tag protected from external actions including in particular ultraviolet and the chemical action of certain products used in agriculture such as pesticides, this label being intended to be fixed on the ear of an animal to be identified .
- This identification of farm animals is made compulsory in many countries to ensure health monitoring.
- This identification operated by marking, concerns the animal itself and may also concern its biological origin, its geographical origin, as well as the place of breeding, the herd of belonging and possibly the breeder.
- This marking can be materialized in several ways, for example one or more inscriptions engraved in or printed on the label and taking the form of signs, of sequences of alphanumeric characters or of bar codes.
- the marking can also be materialized by one or more colors.
- Another important element of identification is the color of the label. So the labels are yellow or salmon they can be green, orange etc.
- Ear tags can also be used for tagging wildlife.
- the color of the label can then be used to identify the animal's sex, its origin, etc.
- the label can also include several colors, each of which relates to a biological datum such as the age of the animal, its sex, its identity, etc., and / or to a geographic datum such as its place of birth, its place of marking etc.
- These ear tags are made of aromatic polyurethane colored in the mass. This material is used mainly because of its low cost as well as its flexibility, its resistance to hydrolysis, to microorganisms and its good mechanical resistance, in particular, its resistance to tearing and abrasion.
- the color or colors of the label as well as the inscriptions must be clearly visible, both from a distance and up close.
- the aromatic polyurethane has the drawback of being sensitive to external agents, and this particularly important to ultraviolet radiation, the action of the latter leading to an alteration of the color of the plastic, to the confusion of colors by yellowing then browning and to a significant loss of the legibility of the inscriptions.
- the action of ultraviolet radiation on the polyurethane also results in a notable alteration of the mechanical properties of the label so that the latter loses over time, in particular resistance to abrasion, tearing and its flexibility.
- aromatic polyurethane generally offers good resistance to chemical agents
- certain chemical agents such as pesticides can alter the marking carried out on the label and reduce the legibility of this marking.
- the breeder may be forced to replace discolored or made illegible labels or even mechanically altered labels.
- no alteration of the label should be observable before ten years, which is not always the case today.
- the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem by proposing a label, essentially made of aromatic polyurethane, capable of withstanding the action of external agents and in particular the bleaching action of ultraviolet light.
- Another object of the present invention is to solve the problem of the degradation of mechanical properties under the effect of the action of ultraviolet radiation.
- Another object of the present invention is to solve the problem of the alteration of the marking by the corrosive agents contained in certain pesticides or in other products which may come into contact with the label.
- the ear tag according to the invention comprising at least one flexible flat wall of aromatic polyurethane, colored in the mass or in surface, on one of the large faces of which is affixed a marking in the form of a sign and / or of alphanumeric and / or barcode characters, characterized essentially in that at least one of the large faces of the flat wall, is coated with a layer of protective material with respect to external agents and in particular constituting a radiation screen ultraviolet and barrier to chemical attack by certain corrosive agents present in the environment in which the animal carrying the label must evolve.
- the invention provides a protective layer transparent to visible radiation.
- the protective layer is affixed at least on the two large faces of the label.
- the face of the label receiving the protective layer as an overlap is that provided with a marking with ink.
- the marking is not carried out on the aromatic polyurethane wall but on the protective layer and on that of the faces of the latter intended to come into contact with the label.
- this layer of protective material consists of aliphatic polyurethane.
- a protective layer on the label it firstly strengthens the latter's resistance to abrasion but above all by absorbing the ultraviolet rays it protects the label from the oxidizing action of the latter and therefore from yellowing and browning and therefore the loss of readability of the information carried by the label. Furthermore, it very effectively protects the label against the alteration of its mechanical properties so that the label will retain over time all of its abrasion, tear, shear and other resistance properties and all of its properties. flexibility and elasticity.
- the thickness of the layer of aliphatic polyurethane is of the order of a few tens of hundredths of a millimeter.
- the ear tag 1 consists of two parts 1a, 1b intended to cooperate in attachment to each other through the ear of the animal to be marked, or to the through any other appropriate part of the animal's body, these two parts of the label each comprising a flexible flat wall 2 on one of the large faces of which is erected for one, a female element 4 in the form of a head with housing which can be blind and for the other, a male element 5 in the form of a pawn with frustoconical termination intended to be engaged in the housing of the head after having passed right through the ear of the animal to be marked.
- the housing includes means for blocking the frustoconical termination. These means oppose the withdrawal of the pin which ensures the holding of the label.
- the identification marking is carried out on one of the two faces of one or two flat walls 1a, 1b.
- each flat wall is made of aromatic polyurethane colored in the mass.
- the latter is coated with a layer of protective material 3, constituting a screen for ultraviolet radiation.
- the protective layer 3 covers the large face of the wall receiving the marking and also provides effective protection against the chemical action of the corrosive agents contained in certain products such as for example pesticides.
- the protective layer can also be affixed on the two large faces and possibly also on the lateral edges of the flat wall.
- this layer is transparent to visible radiation.
- the protective layer is able to absorb ultraviolet radiation.
- the layer of protective material consists of aliphatic polyurethane to which can be added constituent elements increasing protection against external agents. This material provides particularly effective protection against the action of ultraviolet radiation and opposes the degradation of color and marking and effectively opposes the alteration of the mechanical properties of the label and its aging.
- This protective layer is in the form of a sheet.
- the thickness of the aliphatic polyurethane layer is between 50 and 100 ⁇ m and rather of the order of 75 micrometers.
- the protective layer is fixed to the corresponding face of the label by heat welding. This technique ensures an intimate connection of the protective layer to the flat wall. The quality of this bond is reinforced by the fact that the chemical nature of the components of the two materials (aromatic polyurethane and aromatic polyurethane) are very similar.
- the protective layer is fixed to the corresponding face by gluing.
- the two fixing techniques previously mentioned, are applicable to the protection of a label already produced, the protective layer being cut from a sheet of aliphatic polyurethane and then fixed to the flat wall.
- the marking of the flat wall can be carried out before or after affixing the protective sheet 3.
- the marking can be carried out on the flat wall but in a variant it can be carried out on the protective layer and on that of the faces of the latter intended to come into contact with the flat wall 2.
- the protective layer (3) is previously placed in a cavity into which the molten material is injected (aromatic polyurethane of the colored label
- the protective layer 3 is formed by the injection of molten aliphatic polyurethane into a mold containing the flexible wall and more precisely into a cavity of this mold limited on one side by the face of the wall intended to be covered by the protective layer.
- the flexible flat wall 2 and the protective layer 3 are produced by bi-injection.
- the protective layer consists of a varnish which may be based on aliphatic polyurethane or any other product capable of providing effective protection to external agents and in particular to ultraviolet radiation or to chemicals such as pesticides.
- This varnish can be applied by spraying, pad printing or any other suitable technique.
