Feature

Variety

Available in 10 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, dark green, tan, gray, and black

Feature

Laminated Surface

Spectrum Tags are made of durable 1/16″ UV-inhibited plastic with a tough, clear laminate that withstands acids, caustics, oils, and abrasions. Simply use a felt tip marker, crayon, or Spectrum Custom Label to mark the tag with your information. Then, seal the information beneath the laminate sheet to keep it clean and legible.

Feature

Spectrum Visual Lubrication Management

These ID tags are part of the Spectrum Visual Lubrication Management System that uses color-coding to ensure the correct lubricant is used in the right piece of equipment and in the proper location. Colored identifiers are assigned to designated lubricants, which allows for a tagging system to be deployed throughout the Journey of the Lubricant. From the point of storage to the point of application, the operator will know which designated lubricant goes with each specific lubrication point.

Additional Features

Durable

Spectrum Tags are weather and chemical resistant to withstand the most demanding indoor and outdoor use.

Red, Blue, Yellow…

If you look up bearing failures, you are bound to get a variety of different results. But, what is consistent is that there is always a wedge of the pie chart that relates to improper lubrication. What it means specifically for each result may vary, but the title includes cross-contamination of lubricants and/or using the wrong lubricants all together. This wedge is typically responsible for 20-35% of all bearing failures, sometimes more.

Color With a Purpose

Did you know that color is processed by people before they are consciously aware of it? Color helps communicate essential information that is understood universally, requires little training, and transcends language barriers.
