Intercept
Technology is a revolutionary product developed by Bell Labs. This new technology employs a reactive
polymer that reacts with and neutralizes the gases that cause
metals to corrode or rust. Intercept Technology currently is
in use by Fortune 500 aerospace and telecommunication companies
to provide stable, effective, long lasting corrosion and Electro-static
discharge (ESD) protection while neutralizing destructive
mold and mildew coming into contact with the resin.

Metallic
corrosion is caused primarily by the reaction of corrosive or
reactive atmospheric gases. These reactive gases (ozone, hydrogen
sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide)
easily combine with metal surfaces causing corrosion and oxidation. Bell Labs determined that up to 80% of their latent, or premature
field defects were being caused by, or related to corrosion.
Gases
containing sulfur and chlorine are the major gases causing
corrosion. Preventing corrosion means keeping
these and other reactive gases from attacking or contacting
the metal surfaces. Keeping these gases away from the
metal surfaces will keep the surfaces clean and free of oxidation
and corrosion.
How
do you effectively keep the gases away? The answer is Intercept
Technology * utilizing a revolutionary approach of inserting
highly reactive Copper into the polymer matrix.
This backbone of Copper forms a reactive barrier to
the gases. Because
of this torturous path through the Copper it is impossible
for these gases to pass through Intercept to attack what is
inside the shrink-wrapped film. While
inside the container, the Intercept acts as a preferential
corrosion site reacting and cleansing trapped air, making
a safe micro-environment for your stored/shipped objects. Intercept also provides protection
from static electricity – the silent killer of electronics.

Intercept
has been used successfully for years protecting everything from
satellites and sensitive guidance systems, optical switches,
major works of art, sculptures, silver, rubber components, paper,
and even guitar strings. The copper in the material helps control
the formation and growth of molds and mildew when in intimate
contact with the surface. One hallmark of this new polymer class
is that it is so versatile.
Bell Labs developed the Intercept technology as a way to better
protect their own systems. They discovered that corrosion weakens
electrical components, making them more sensitive to ESD effects.
Also, corrosion adversely effects solderability
– it is very difficult to solder through corrosion or oxidation.
Intercept keeps surfaces pristine, enhancing solderability
and extending useful operating life of the electronic system
or component.
The
technology now is available by FPM as Intercept Shrinkfilm.
Ideal for military and commercial aviation, boat, equipment,
and materiel shipment/storage, Intercept provides 3-way protection,
using only 1 product.
