When it comes to safeguarding precious jewelry, Intercept Technology™ offers exceptional protection against tarnishing and corrosion. But how long does this protection last, and what happens when you open the packaging?

Intercept Technology™, featuring Corrosion Intercept® and Static Intercept®—both patented polymers from Lucent Technologies—is designed to maintain the integrity of metals by neutralizing corrosive gasses. This technology uses highly porous copper particles permanently cross-linked in a plastic composite. These particles react with and bind harmful gasses, creating a protective, neutralizing atmosphere around the stored items. Remarkably, intercept™ can neutralize corrosive gasses in under an hour and also addresses moisture that migrates through the packaging, preventing corrosion.

Intercept's protective shelf life is many years, even decades. Testing from Bell Labs and DuPont has shown that the Intercept products' life span is related to the thickness of the chosen film. Generally, every 1 mil of Intercept provides 10 years of protection, hence, a 3 mil bag will yield 30 years of tarnish prevention. Intercept does not depend on temperature or humidity, nor will normal environments impact the effectiveness of the Intercept Technology™ products. Intercept should provide protection for your valuables for up to 12+ months of continuous use depending on how well sealed the container is.

Will the Effect Get Lost as Soon as the Packaged Goods Are Opened?

One of the standout features of Intercept is its ability to maintain protective qualities even when the packaging is opened. Unlike some products that lose their effectiveness upon exposure to air, Intercept remains effective during and after the brief interruption caused by opening the package. Once the packaging is resealed, the protective environment is quickly restored. This means you can access or inspect your jewelry without compromising its protection. 

Intercept products are tailored for a variety of storage conditions and requirements, ensuring consistent protection across different regions and environments. Whether you're a manufacturer in Asia, a wholesaler in Europe, or a retailer or consumer in the Americas, Intercept provides reliable and high-quality protection for your jewelry.

Its innovative technology, combined with the ability to quickly restore protection after opening, makes it a dependable choice for preserving the beauty and value of your jewelry. For best results, follow proper storage practices and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with using Intercept for your precious items.
