Intercept Technology™ Tarnish & Corrosion Prevention Packaging

How Intercept Technology™ Protects Musical Instruments from Tarnish & Corrosion

Musicians know that a great instrument isn’t just equipment—it’s an investment, a partner in creativity, and often something deeply personal. But even when instruments are stored carefully, tarnish and corrosion can sneak in and affect tone, appearance, and long-term performance.

That’s where Intercept Technology™ steps in.

A Safer Way to Protect the Sound You Love

Did you know that Intercept Technology™ can shield musical instruments from harmful corrosion—without any chemicals, oils, or residue? Whether you’re protecting guitar strings, brass components, woodwind keys, flutes, saxophones, or clarinets, Intercept offers a clean and effective solution that stops deterioration before it starts.

Intercept is:

  • Non-toxic

  • Safe for all metals and materials

  • Fully recyclable

  • Free of coatings, oils, or chemical emitters

Instead of coating your instruments with something, Intercept works by transforming the environment they’re stored in.

The Science Behind the Protection

Born out of research at Bell Labs, Intercept Technology™ started with a breakthrough: combining a proprietary copper particle with low-density polyethylene to create a powerful, reactive protective material called Static Intercept®.

This sheeting is designed to absorb and neutralize corrosive gases, acting as a shield inside closed spaces like cases, gig bags, and storage boxes. As trapped contaminants enter the Intercept material, they’re bonded and neutralized—preventing them from ever reaching your instrument.

Why Musicians Trust Intercept

Over time, even small amounts of humidity or airborne pollutants can cause metals to darken, oxidize, or corrode. Intercept Technology™ creates a stable micro-environment around your instrument, helping to:

  • Maintain shine on metal surfaces

  • Extend the life of strings and hardware

  • Prevent tarnish on brass and silver components

  • Reduce long-term repair and cleaning costs

And unlike traditional anti-tarnish solutions, Intercept doesn’t off-gas, coat surfaces, or introduce chemicals into your instrument case.

Clean, Long-Lasting, Worry-Free Protection

Once Intercept is placed inside a closed case or bag, it begins working immediately—silently protecting your instrument for years. It’s easy to use, environmentally responsible, and trusted across industries where precise, corrosion-free performance is essential.
