Abstract
An overmolded transponder is at least partially overmolded with an overmolding composition comprising an ethylene copolymer. The overmolding composition may optionally comprise one or both of a second polymer such as polyethylene or a filler. The overmolded transponder can serve as a radio frequency identification device, for example, such as a bolus transponder for identification of animals.
