Intercept SPS protective wrap creates a corrosion-free zone around critical metal components or other products wrapped inside.
Suppliers to government agencies can protect their products from corrosion and deterioration during shipment and long-term storage by using the new Intercept SPS Protective Wrap.
Meeting multiple federal government green purchasing requirements, Intercept SPS protective wrap creates a corrosion-free zone around critical metal components or other products wrapped inside.
The Intercept SPS material has the ability to neutralise and remove corrosive elements in the air around the product wrapped inside, thereby protecting them from corrosion for long periods.
Since the Intercept material has no chemical content and is non-hazardous, it produces no fumes, no outgassing of volatile organic compounds, and poses no danger of worker sensitivity or allergic reactions.
It is 100% safe to use and 100% recyclable.
This allows manufacturers to safely ship and store their high-value components for years, while ensuring that their products will be corrosion-free when they are unwrapped for use.
Originally developed and patented by Bell Laboratories, Intercept SPS Protective Wrap from Birchwood Casey provides active corrosion protection.
The material consists of a high-density polyethylene film, infused with metallic copper particles and activated carbon.
These materials neutralise and absorb corrosive elements inside the wrap through sacrificial galvanic action and absorption.
In addition, these materials are natural biocides that quickly kill any acid-producing bacteria, mold or fungus that may be present inside the wrap or in fingerprints.
By creating a benign, protective zone inside the wrap, the product inside is fully protected - without the use of chemicals.
With a proven storage life of 20-plus years in normal warehouse conditions, Intercept SPS provides protection for products of all types - from very large, high-value parts such as engine blocks and military hardware to smaller, precision-manufactured tooling, machine components and spare parts.
Intercept SPS Wrap effectively protects all metal surfaces, and even electronic and optical components, from deterioration in storage and shipment.
Available in several forms, Intercept SPS can be purchased online in shrink film, stretch film, flat stock, pre-sized bags and large tote-bin sized gusset bags.
Intercept SPS stretch film and shrink film are used to enclose pallet-sized loads, machines and larger components.
