Corrosion Intercept and Static Intercept

Transcription

1 Corrosion Intercept and Static Intercept Solid State VOC Free Corrosion Protection Protect it Early With Protection that Lasts FPM Inc. The Shrinkwrapping Company Revised Dec 2005 for consistency

2 Protection of Aluminum The surface of Aluminum quickly forms a highly protective oxide layer, impervious to Sulfur and other atmospheric pollutants This protective oxide layer is thick and provides excellent protection from additional corrosion or degradation The Aluminum Oxide layer has a weakness - Chlorine

3 Protection of Aluminum (cont.) Chlorine rich environments are ocean surfaces and near oceans, as well as areas of high fossil fuel combustion Chlorine combines with moisture and particles in the air to form an acidic slurry which literally dissolves the protective oxide layer Once the oxide layer is damaged it is now open to corrosion from atmospheric corrosive gases Normally, the Aluminum forms a white, crusty corrosion layer

4 Protection of Aluminum (cont.) Traditional corrosion prevention methods: Keep the Gases (Chlorine) away from the metal Foil Bags Require desiccants and complete seals Normally requires vacuum sealing for best results If a foil seal is broken or the bag torn or punctured there is no protection Positives: Proven to work / Proven to keep out moisture Negatives: Expensive in materials and time (long process) Only as good as the seals / only as good as the film

5 Protection of Aluminum (cont.) Traditional corrosion prevention methods: Use oils or volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) Traps volatile oils and chemicals inside paper or plastic to be released to coat the metal being protected Fogs the inside of the closed bag with a chemical cloud coating the metal keeping gases away from surface Positives More cost effective than foils and translucent / transparent Have been shown effective with some metals Negatives Actively coating your products with chemicals / potential Health and Safety concerns Many VCIs are not effective against Chlorine

6 Bell Labs Criteria for Inventing a Packaging Material Do not harm what you wish to protect No volatile chemical emitters No VCIs; No VOCs Do not harm the handlers No Volatile Chemicals or Chemicals that may have some level of hazardness that could be transferred with normal handling Make it robust & Long Lasting Have It Work in Any Environment Make it flexible and easy to use Make it easy on the environment Must be recyclable and/or re-usable

7 Intercept Technology Developed and Patented by Lucent Technologies Bell Labs Solves Corrosion problems causing defects in electronics and assemblies Replaces FOIL BARRIER packaging and traditional corrosion prevention systems including volatile protection systems Is a reactive barrier system, not a passive system like foil systems or volatile systems Is inherently clean - avoids contamination of sensitive components Provides passive mildew protection Provides protection for surfaces to be painted

8 How Does Intercept Work? Bell Labs transformed normal plastic into a high gas barrier material utilizing Copper reacted into the plastic chain Reacts with and permanently neutralizes corrosive gases Seals and forms like a standard plastic Extremely long lasting Does not coat / contaminate / leave deposits of any kind Safe for all products* NASA Approved *except high explosive energetics sensitive to copper

9 Corrosive Gases Try To Penetrate Intercept -- But Fail Intercept provides a reactive barrier to the corrosive gases -- reacting and permanently neutralizing them. As the Intercept is used up it changes colors: Corrosion Intercept : Copper to Gray (abbr. As CIF below) At normal atmospheric levels of gases: Chlorine15 yr/mil of CIF Sulfur 10 yr/mil of CIF

10 Testing done by DuPont with standard polyethylene resin shows the dramatic difference in protection against chlorine between regular plastic and Intercept

11 Corrosion Intercept is a reactive polymer that bonds with Carbon molecules and can then be compounded with polyethylene to form a structure or film.

12 Intercept Technology Advantages: Proven effective Long shelf life and long life in service Cleanses the air trapped within enclosure Cost Effective Replaces foils and VCIs Faster packaging - labor savings No need to completely heat seal Why Switch? Volatile Chemical Free Recyclable* Works in Chlorine rich environments (ocean travel) Environmentally safe Flexible to be easily adapted for many packaging designs *non-laminates recyclable as colored PE

13 Intercept is Safe & Flexible Intercept configurations Intercept Shrinkfilm Handmade Shrouds Bags of all Sorts of sizes, dimensions, closures, laminations, reusability Thermoforming Rolls & Wraps (including conforming stretch) Use your Imagination

18 Robust & Long Lasting Proven in the Lab & the Field Successfully tested by the U.S. Army at TACOM Picatinny Arsenal in a 4-year study New materials (Intercept) performed better in corrosion protection than with MIL-PRF-131J Material. Samir Sarkar, Packaging & Enginering Support Division, U.S. Army TACOM Picatinny Arsenal Intercept Shrinkfilm wrapped freighter hatches and winches Quote from a Maritime Administration official observing Intercept Shrinkfilm wrapped freighters Those are the best laid up ships I ve seen in all my experience. Its easy to use, cost effective and it works! UK MOD tested and approved for their standard: Def Stan Part 2, methods 1 and 1C Def Stan Part 1A and 11
