Containing corrosion
August 1st 2010 SSI Schaefer has developed extruded
containers using its Intercept
technology. This allows users to
protect goods against corrosion
during transport, shipment and
storage under extreme conditions and
reduce process
costs while
reducing overall
carbon footprint
impact.
Corrosive
gases such as salts, sulphur
compounds, ozone and nitrogen
cause susceptible stored goods to rust
during long-term storage or overseas
transport. To protect commercial
items, goods are treated with
complex processes such as oils, waxes
or a vacuum to prevent contact
between the corrosive atmosphere
and the packaged goods. These
protective substances must then be
removed before being used or
processed, which is not only timeconsuming
but very costly.
Chemical substances are frequently
released into the atmosphere during
this process, which has a big impact
on both the environment and staff
involved.
Intercept was developed to protect
virtually any material from all
climatic conditions and
environmental influences.
They also do not emit chemical
gases, can be recycled and meet
work safety requirements.
The containers are available in
three different versions: with
corrosion protection; conductive
ESD containers; and containers with
ESD and corrosion protection.
The application is guaranteed up
to 15 years and meets legal
requirements for product labelling. More articles from SSI Schaefer Ltd: |
