Methods to Help Prevent Tarnish and Corrosion
Tarnish and corrosion are common challenges faced by anyone dealing with silver and precious metals. At Intercept Silver & Jewelry Care, LLC, we understand the importance of preserving the brilliance and luster of your jewelry and silverware. By utilizing our cutting-edge Intercept Technology™, you can effectively prevent tarnish and corrosion, protecting your investments for years to come.
Understanding Tarnish and Corrosion
Tarnishing occurs when metals, particularly non-ferrous ones like silver, react with corrosive gasses in the atmosphere. These reactions can lead to unsightly discoloration, impacting both the aesthetic appeal and value of your items. Fortunately, several methods can help you safeguard your precious metals against these damaging effects.
Effective Methods to Prevent Tarnish and Corrosion
1. Use Intercept Technology™ Packaging
Our products are designed to react with and neutralize the harmful gasses that cause tarnishing. This revolutionary technology provides up to 10 years of protection per mil of material, ensuring your jewelry remains tarnish-free. The packaging is clean, non-abrasive, and environmentally friendly, breaking down to polymer dust in landfills.
2. Anti-Tarnish Strips and Bags
In addition to our Intercept Technology™ packaging, we offer a range of anti-tarnish strips and bags that can be easily integrated into your storage and display solutions. These products provide a passive barrier against tarnishing agents, ensuring that your items maintain their shine without the need for chemical treatments.
3. Store in a Controlled Environment
While our products provide exceptional protection, storing your silver and precious metals in a controlled environment can enhance their longevity. Aim for a cool, dry place with stable temperature and humidity levels. Avoid areas prone to moisture, like basements or kitchens, to minimize exposure to corrosive gasses.
4. Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
Establishing a routine cleaning schedule is essential. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to gently wipe your items before storing them. This simple step can remove oils and residues that contribute to tarnishing.
5. Avoid Contact with Chemicals
Chemicals found in household products, perfumes, and even some foods can accelerate tarnishing. Keep your jewelry away from harsh substances and remove it before engaging in activities that may expose it to potential harm.
