Static Intercept®

Static Intercept®

Static Intercept® is the most versatile and widely used form ofIntercept Technology™

Static Intercept® combines the corrosion protection of Corrosion Intercept® with permanent ESD protection

Static Intercept® is

• Corrosion protection for 3-15 years
• Permanent ESD protection
• Mildewcide and Bactericide

Corrosion Protection

SI works by reacting with and permanently neutralizing corrosive gases, both inside and outside the containment, and will last 3-15 Years depending on material style, gauge, and the aggresiveness of the environment, though temperature will not affect its ability. SI also acts as both a fungus and a bacteria inhibitor. All this and yet Static Intercept® does not use volatile chemicals and does not leave deposits on products. In fact as #4 plastic, SI is fully recyclable and even breaks down to polymer dust in a landfill which, along with its reusability, means its carbon footprint is low.

SI can protect:

• Silver
• Bronze
• Tin
• Brass
• Magnesium
• Ferrous Metals (Iron and Steel)
• Galvanic Couples (when in intimate contact)
• Organics
• Other non-metals

Static Protection

SI is permanently anti-static, in the optimal surface resistivity range of 106 to 109 Ω/sq. It can also be manufactured custom in a range of 104 to 1011 Ω/sq. SI has a turn-on potential of 0.7 volts, making it perfect for Class 0 devices and will tribo charge to less than 20 volts. It also does not slough particles so it is excellent in a clean room environment. The electrical characteristics are independent of temperature and humidity. SI was tested with a 24-hour water shower test which also had no effect on its abilities. SI also does not contain any amine or amide-based volatiles so it will not contaminate surfaces.
