What is INTERCEPT Technology?
It is a line of innovative, anti-corrosive film products containing plastic and special copper particles that can protect metal, rubber, resin, etc. from corrosion without the use of anti-corrosive oil.
The special copper particles that are mixed into the film, which have a surface area 256 times larger than that of regular copper particles, adsorb and neutralize the corrosive gases present in the atmosphere (nitrogen oxides, ozone, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, etc.) and thus protect your products from corrosion.

How INTERCEPT Technology works
| Cause of metal corrosion | |||
 |  | Metal electron | The humidity and condensation that contain corrosive gases form electrical circuits through which metal electrons move around, creating an imbalance and resulting in corrosion. |
| Corrosive gas and bacteria | |||
| H2O | |||
| INTERCEPT Technology and desiccant each perform their functions. | |||
 | |||
| Copper particles of INTERCEPT Technology adsorb corrosive gases. | Desiccant adsorbs the humidity that forms electrical circuits. | ||
Features of INTERCEPT Technology
 |  |  |  |
| 1. Long-term corrosion-free storage | 2. Less workload means lower labor cost | ||
| As the corrosion-suppressing special copper particles are mixed into the film itself, corrosion-free long-term storage is possible compared with a conventional film with a generic VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) coating. *Storage duration depends on the environment of use. | The technology can be applied simply by wrapping the products with the film and removing it, without degreasing or any other additional process. Because there is no need to apply anti-corrosive oil, operators no longer need to worry about uneven oil application and spend far less time on corrosion prevention. | ||
| 3. Applicable to large equipment | 4. Ecological technology | ||
| Because INTERCEPT Technology comes in rolls, it can be cut to any size for wrapping the smallest of items. It can also be used to wrap items as large as helicopters, ships, etc., by using adhesive tape and shrink-wrap it. | As the product does not contain any specified substances such as nitrous acid and is RoHS- and TRGS-615/900-certified, INTERCEPT Technology supports your environmental initiatives. It can also be safely used for international freight transport. | ||
