How They Work:

The Intercept Technology™ is a revolutionary product reacting solid state reactive materials into a polymer matrix.  These reactive materials react with and neutralise all corrosive gases that contact the film. 

Metals corrode (tarnish) by reaction with common gases in the atmosphere.  These corrosive gases react with both Ferrous (Iron based) and Non-Ferrous metals, however these gases are the primary cause for tarnish and corrosion of Non-Ferrous metal (such as Silver, Gold, Tin, Copper, Brass, etc).

Why They're Better:

Intercept™ provides the best protection against tarnish and corrosion because it: 

Ø     reacts with and permanently neutralizes corrosive gases

Ø     is clean and non-abrasive, it will not scratch items it protects (unlike Charcoal based products)

Ø     leaves no detectable deposit on any item it protects (unlike VCI’s, vapor corrosion inhibitors)

Ø     will not harm gemstones like  pearls, opals, emeralds, amber, onyx, etc.

Ø     cleanses trapped air of corrosive gases

Ø     is unaffected by temperature and humidity

Ø     is effective against Galvanic coupling (corrosion between joined dissimilar metals)

Ø     acts as a passive bactericide and protects against mildew

Ø     is environmentally friendly with substantially reduced landfill time (breaking down into Polymer dust)

Ø     is fully recyclable (meeting tough German recycling laws!)

Ø     it provides effective tarnish & corrosion prevention for Silver, Gold, Copper, Bronze, Tin, Brass, Magnesium and Ferrous Metals (Iron and Steel)

Ø     features a built in saturation indicator - when the copper colour turns black, it is time to change the bag.

Intercept™ products are used by major jewellery manufacturers, NASA, The British Royal Mint and many other companies world-wide.

The zip-lock bags are manufactured with a Corrosion Intercept back and clear front to allow display of the items enclosed.
