Anti-Tarnish Bags for Jewelry Storage

How long will the anti-tarnish properties last in these anti-tarnish zip-locking bags?

Q: How long will the anti-tarnish last if these anti-tarnish bags are not used and are stored?
A: Our anti-tarnish bags last for 5 years, unused, in storage.
 
Q: If these anti-tarnish bags ARE USED, how long will the anti-tarnish last?
A: The translucent anti-tarnish zip-lock bags will last up to 3 years when used. When they start to darken to a gray color, it is time to change to a fresh bag.
 
Q: Do these anti-tarnish bags need to be stored out of light to allow them to last longer?
A: Light will not harm or reduce the bag's life span.

What are corrosion intercept bags?

Corrosion Intercept bags are a type of anti-corrosion packaging designed to protect metal items from corrosion. They are made of a special polymer material that contains reactive copper particles, which can absorb and neutralize corrosive gases that cause rust and other forms of corrosion.

These bags work by creating a barrier between the metal object and the surrounding environment, preventing moisture, oxygen, and other corrosive elements from reaching the metal surface. The copper particles in the polymer material attract and capture corrosive gases, preventing them from reacting with the metal.

Corrosion Intercept bags are commonly used to protect a wide range of metal items, including jewelry, electronics, machinery, tools, and other metal products. They are an effective and cost-efficient way to prevent corrosion and extend the life of metal products.

Intercept Technology provides effective tarnish & corrosion prevention for the following materials:

• Brass
• Bronze
• Copper
• Ferrous Metals (Iron and Steel)
• Gold
• Magnesium
• Silver
• Tin

The common corrosive gases and examples of how they are produced:

• Hydrogen sulfide (H2S): produced as effluent from pulp mills, oil refineries, heavy industries, and decaying vegetation.
• Carbonyl sulfide (COS): produced from fossil fuel combustion (such as burning coal, gasoline or petrol, oil, etc.), wood fires, and ocean surfaces.
• Sulfur Dioxide (SO2): produced from fossil fuel combustion and smelting operations.
• Hydrogen chloride (HCI): produced from fossil fuel combustion and ocean surfaces.

What are Anti Tarnish - Static Intercept tabs and Non-Abrasive Strips

Anti-Tarnish Static Intercept Non-Abrasive Strips are small adhesive strips that are designed to protect metal objects and surfaces from tarnishing or corroding. They are made of a special type of plastic material called Static Intercept, which is impregnated with copper particles. These copper particles neutralize corrosive gases and other environmental factors that cause tarnishing, rusting, and other forms of degradation in metals.

Static Intercept technology works by creating a protective atmosphere around the metal object, which prevents the tarnish-causing gases from coming into contact with the metal. The strips are non-abrasive, which means they will not scratch or damage delicate metal surfaces.

Anti-Tarnish Static Intercept strips are commonly used to protect jewelry, coins, silverware, and other metal objects that are susceptible to tarnishing. They can be placed inside jewelry boxes, storage containers, or display cases to provide long-lasting protection against tarnish and corrosion. The size makes them ideal for use in small spaces or with small objects.
