Intercept Fabric^TM Technical Specifications

Intercept Fabric^TM is a new outdoor fabric with anti-corrosive and ESD protective properties, offering a durable cover and a corrosive gas scavenging barrier. The inner layer scavenges the corrosive gases that cause corrosion, provides galvanic corrosion protection upon contact with the covered item, provides electro-static discharge (ESD) protection, and inhibits mold/mildew from forming on the inside cover surface. Intercept Fabric is a material with which we make reusable form fitting covers. While the exact fabric may vary to meet particular requirements, Intercept Fabric basically is comprised of five layers.

The first (outer) layer is a durable outdoor fabric using denier yarn in the warp and fill. It is pliable, yet strong, and is easily laminated. The yarn is solution dyed and is UV, fade, and mildew resistant, and has excellent cleanability and abrasion properties. Many colors are possible.

The second (middle) layer is a 1.5-mil thermoplastic copolymer extruded between the first and third layers in a hot, continuous layer. This co-polymer does not come in contact with the surface of the item being protected and will not leave a residue on the surface. Its primary function is to bind the outer fabric and Intercept Technology plastic together.

The final three (inner) layers comprise the Intercept Shrinkfilm^TM, which in itself is comprised of three co-extruded layers. The two outer layers (fourth and fifth layers) are a special shrink/stretch polyolefin film, which remains flexible after shrinking and contains an advanced ultra-violet inhibitor that will help prolong the life of the film. The fifth layer is co-extruded with the first two and contains Static Intercept Technology resin, which blocks corrosive gases that have migrated through the first two layers.

The materials utilize some ISO9000 certified suppliers.
