Event Summary
The Western Australia branch invites members and guests to attend an insightful session with Warwick Richards, General Manager of UnderRaps Pty Ltd trading as Intercept Australia and Intercept Australasia Pty Ltd, joining us to present. While the presentation title is still to be confirmed, Warwick will be drawing on Intercept’s expertise in reusable corrosion preservation solutions.
We look forward to an informative session and thank Warwick for taking the time to share his knowledge with us.

About Intercept: Intercept Australia Reusable preservation solutions.
Intercept delivers anti-corrosion protection by reacting with and then permanently neutralizing the corrosive element.
Intercept Technology™ developed by US giant Bell Labs, now “NOKIA” Bell Labs.
What is Intercept Technology™
A highly reactive Copper is reacted into a polymer structure. The Copper is chemically bonded into the plastic polymer so that it cannot move or agglomerate. The Copper allows the plastic to act like a solid sheet of high surface area, highly reactive Copper.
It’s so reactive it protects metals
The galvanic corrosion current is measurable: 1.2-3.0 V
Due to the special formulated Copper in Intercept the activation threshold is: 0.7 V.
Normal copper is 2.3v – 2.4v
Similar to a security valve: Corrosion goes first to Intercept the path of least resistance like an anode. Intercept acts as a very efficient reactive barrier to corrosive gases trying to migrate into the closed container or bag. At normal levels of Sulfur, it takes Sulfur 10 years to move through 1 mil of Intercept. Similar tests were run at DuPont on Chlorine – the results showed that it took 15 years per mil of Intercept for the Chlorine gas to move through the film. The gases that cause corrosion are all reactive and they will react with and be permanently neutralized by the Intercept.
