The Intercept Technology is an innovative material containing copper particles permanently chemically bonded to a supporting polymer. These particles react rapidly with the elements present in the atmosphere which cause and accelerate corrosion. Neutralization of the surrounding atmosphere and corrosion protection are achieved by permanently combining Intercept with the corrosive gases.
Main Features of Intercept Technology:
- Neutralization of Corrosive Gases: Intercept reacts rapidly with corrosive gases in less than one hour, neutralizing the atmosphere around the products to be protected. This protection is effective whether the material is in direct contact with Intercept or at a considerable distance.
- Broad Protection: Provides effective protection to a wide range of products, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics and electronic components. Metals such as copper, silver, gold, bronze, brass, tin and magnesium, as well as galvanic combinations, are protected even in the absence of moisture.
- Packaging Efficiency: Enables new packaging concepts with a higher ratio between the protected product and the packaging volume, optimizing the use of space and resources.
- Versatility of Use: In addition to protecting metals and electronic components, Intercept is used to preserve photographic prints, films, textiles, paintings, books and works on paper.
- Durable Protection: Intercept’s effectiveness is guaranteed even in extreme conditions, with high concentrations of corrosive gases and extreme temperatures. Moisture passing through the packaging is trapped by Intercept, preventing corrosive elements from causing damage to the interior.
- Regulatory Compliance: Since the implementation of RoHS regulations, Intercept has proven to be an effective solution for the protection of equipment that must avoid the use of lead, addressing new corrosion problems in non-ferrous metals.
Additional Benefits:
- Intercept is totally inert and presents no risk of gas or particle release, ensuring a safe environment for the protected products. It is resistant to humidity, microorganism attack and temperature variation, providing comprehensive and long-lasting protection.
- Intercept offers an advanced and reliable solution for corrosion protection, suitable for a wide range of applications and materials, ensuring the preservation of valuable products in various environmental conditions.
