Types of corrosive gases

• Nitrous Oxides (NOx)

• Ozone (O3) - reactive oxygen

• Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and Sulfur Dioxides (SO2)

• Carbonyl Sulfide (COS)

• Hydrogen Chloride (HCl)

• Corrosive gases from wood offgassing


CORROSION INTERCEPT®

CI is being used by a number of renowned companies.

Intercept Advantages:

• Environmentally-friendly (no migration of particles and elements) when used as directed

• High effectiveness ( from –35°C to +80°C)

• Long durability ( > 10 Years per mil of resin under average atmospheric conditions)

• Protects all Ferrous- and Non-Ferrous metals, electronics, optics and plastics from atmospheric corrosion

• Universally usable

• Cost-effective


Function

CI Products consist of special high surface area copper particles which are reacted into the polymer-matrix to create a

new class of product with several protective functions:

• Neutralization of corrosive gases present in the bag and migrating gases

• Protection as an “Anode“ for electro-chemical processes

• Natural function against Bio-Corrosion (copper is a passive mildewcide)

Workers‘ Safety & Environment

- Intercept is not a VCI

- There is no outgassing and there are no VOC issues related to Intercept

- There are no restrictions for Intercept in regards to:

- German Gov’t TRGS 615 – Intercept is compliant

- RoHS - Intercept meets RoHS initiative in Europe

- Fully reusable and recyclable as colored PE in Europe

CORROSION INTERCEPT® was tested by NASA for contamination – certified for space-flight conditions


CI Benefits

• Eliminates the need for oils, greases and solvents

• Saves Labor dollars and time• Contains no volatile compounds• Provides long-term protection• Ease of application• Inexpensive compared to other products when

considering all packaging costs


Intercept Stretch Wrap Benefits:• Corrosion Intercept may be wrapped over irregular

shapes – flip the film over to get the film to tack closed• Corrosion Intercept acts as a moisture vapor barrier-

preventing moisture from entering the package

• Corrosion Intercept film may be adequate to hold the

object on a pallet without additional packaging.


Corrosion Intercept film (far right) placed in an atmosphere containing chlorine performs significantly better than

other packaging films (foil, blue poly, volatile corrosion inhibitor).


In addition to acting as a barrier to external atmospheric gases the Corrosion Intercept film scavenges any corrosive gases that might be enclosed in the air space inside the package.

Corrosion Intercept also acts as a sacrificial anode and prevents cathodic corrosion.


Many companies apply light oils, greases, Cosmoline or other

protective coatings to protect the metal products while in storage or

during shipping. Corrosion Intercept eliminates the need for

these coatings, which may require removal by solvents at the

customer site. Significant savings in purchasing coatings and the

reduced labor requirements may be realized. The customer does

not have to spend hours cleaning the equipment and use hazardous

solvents, which is a saving to them.

No Oils, Sprays,VCI Paper orVCI SpongesRequired with Intercept!


Spare Parts – Supply Chain Storage / Shipment

Requested Protection Period: 2 weeks to 2 years

Shipment of goods world-wide. Partially opening by customs. Dramatic climatic changes.


Metals and Assemblies

Bags / Stretch / Shrink


Problem: Partially long storage periods before or after shipment under climatically difficult circumstances.

Application:STATIC INTERCEPT® and CORROSION INTERCEPT® Films as alternative to Foil, VCI and wax-paper. All components are protected equally well. Tests have been performed by leading companies under realistic conditions for the complete period of time required.

Further: Products are recyclable as colored PE and no further protection (Oil, Wax, etc.) is needed besides sufficient amount of desiccants (16 Units/m³).

Only one non-shelf-life material needed to stock.

Automobile Supply Chain & CKD Applications


Easy Handling – High Protection – Cost Savings

Applications – Cast Iron Engine Blocks

Ford Motor Company (SA)

Engine blocks – 12 Month Storage test – No corrosion


1) Polyethylene bag 2) SI bag with Corex separator

3) Blocks head bank down on Corex strips

4) Cylinder blocks (6) with Desi Pak desiccant (4 sachets)


5) Perforated Corex sheet separating layers

6) Blocks head bank up making 2nd layer. Desiccants added as per # 4

7) Corex sheet on top 8) Close and tap SI bag


9) Close & tape plastic bag 10) Re-start the process on top layer separated by wooded sheet board

11) Complete double layer 12) Close bags as 8 & 9 - shrink wrap pallet


Improvements seen

Shipments to India and China changed to Intercept

Padding was used to prevent punctures


Ball Bearing Packs3 Month Test – High Sulfur Environment

In addition to beingable to pack withoutOils – the packaginghelps prevent counterfeiting


Applications – Ship Germany to Mexico

ZF Lemförder


Applications – BMW 15-Yr Storage

BMW AG


Application – Engine ManifoldsShip China to US

The use of Intercept bags has allowed these enginemanifolds to be shipped from China to the US withno protective oil coating – no oil to be applied, nosteam cleaning at receiving, no corrosion failures


ZF Sachs provided an inside view as to why they had decided to fully change to SI. Shipments were tested to:

Brazil USAMexico ChinaArgentina South Africa


Demonstration: Foil


Demonstration: Intercept

… more than 90% reduction in processing time !


… and of course better protection of the goods against corrosion;

less damages due to opening of the package for customs checks;

A clean and recyclable product,with less probability of injury.

Total Cost Analysis• Recyclable as colored PE• Meets European initiatives for product safety• Safe for rubber and Polycarbonate storage• Eliminates the need and requirement for oils,

sponges, VCI separator sheets, and the required cleaning after oil coating

• The only material consented by BMW for long term storage – Most VCIs and Dry method storage are limited to under 3 years– We have long term data available
