Gel for preparing iron and steel substrate parts simplifies the metal blackening operation for finishing prototype and short run metal fabricated parts, cutting tools, moulds or dies.
Metal coating process is non-toxic
A new, environment and user-friendly metal coating process for iron and steel components forms a non-toxic aluminum oxide conversion coating and can be used in high-heat applications.
Since the INTERCEPT material has no chemical content and is non-hazardous, it produces no fumes, no outgassing of volatile organic compounds, and poses no danger of worker sensitivity or allergic reactions.
It is 100% safe to use and 100% recyclable.
This allows manufacturers to safely ship and store their high value components for years, while ensuring that their products will be corrosion-free when they are unwrapped for use.

Originally developed and patented by Bell Laboratories, INTERCEPT SPS Protective Wrap from Birchwood Casey is the ultimate corrosion resistant wrap and packaging.
Unlike conventional packaging, INTERCEPT SPS provides active corrosion protection.
The material consists of a high-density polyethylene film, infused with metallic copper particles and activated carbon.
Completely non-hazardous, these materials neutralize and absorb corrosive elements inside the wrap through sacrificial galvanic action and absorption.
In addition, these materials are natural biocides that quickly kill any acid-producing bacteria, mold or fungus that may be present inside the wrap or in fingerprints.
By creating a benign, protective zone inside the wrap, the product inside is fully protected - without the use of chemicals.
With a proven storage life of 20-plus years in normal warehouse conditions, INTERCEPT SPS provides protection for products of all types - from very large, high value parts such as engine blocks and military hardware to smaller, precision manufactured tooling, machine components and spare parts.
INTERCEPT SPS Wrap effectively protects all metal surfaces, and even electronic and optical components, from deterioration in storage and shipment.
Available in several forms, INTERCEPT SPS can be purchased online in shrink film, stretch film, flat stock, pre-sized bags and large tote-bin sized gusset bags.
The 48-inch flat INTERCEPT SPS material is used for odd-shaped components by wrapping and taping.
INTERCEPT SPS Stretch Film and Shrink Film are used to enclose pallet-sized loads, machines and larger components.
