What is Archival Intercept?
Our 6 mil high density polyethylene Intercept sheets provide the usual inert barrier of archival polyethylene plus the additional protection of neutralizing common oxidizing atmospheric gases such as ozone, carbonyl sulfide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. In Intercept polyethylene sheets, copper is covalently reacted into the polymer matrix. This copper backbone gives Intercept its ability to bond with and neutralize oxidizing gases. Intercept sheets can be placed inside any archival enclosure to obtain the added benefit of protection from atmospheric contaminants within the enclosure. Our six mil Intercept sheets will offer protection for at least six years before needing replacement.
