This RFID inlay being further inserted into an overall label construction having a plurality of layers that include, for example, a plurality of polyester layers and a plurality of high temperature resistant adhesive layers that bond/adhere layers together, the plurality of layers further protecting and insulating the RFID inlay while the label is bonded to the external bead (or sidewall) of a tire. The compositions/devices disclosed herein can be used for electronic identification when applied on rubber-based articles (e.g., tires) prior to being subjected to stress related to the vulcanization process and normal use of this article during the manufacturing process.
