New Anti-Corrosive Intercept Shrinkfilm

Press Release

FPM Inc. and Engineered Materials Inc. are introducing the world’s first anti-corrosive shrinkfilm using a non-chemical-emitting, anti-corrosive, permanent anti-static resin. Designed to protect industrial equipment and aircraft during storage and shipment, Intercept Shrinkfilm combines standard shrinkfilm with a proprietary Lucent Technologies’ resin that intercepts the corrosive gases as they try to penetrate the packaging and neutralizes corrosive gases that are sealed within the packaging. Intercept Shrinkfilm neutralized corrosive gases that are created by ocean surfaces and industrial processes, including ozone, hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, and chlorine. Intercept Shrinkfilm will provide corrosion protection for up to 10 years indoors. The Intercept resin also neutralizes mold and mildew upon contact with its internal surface. As a result, aircraft and equipment can be shipped and stored safely without the corrosion that is inherent with other shipping methods.

Intercept Shrinkfilm is used like regular shrinkfilm: an item is fully covered with shrinkfilm, the edges are held in place by tape or heat fusion, slack shrinkfilm is reduced by pleating or taping, and the shrinkfilm is heated with a heat torch. Properly applied, this heat shrinks the plastic down into a tight environmental seal but does not damage the item surface. Shrinkfilm packaging is widely used in material, boat, and aircraft shipment and storage. Used in conjunction with FPM’s proprietary Shrinkwrap Coating System, an Intercept Shrinkwrap wrapped item will last more than 5 years outdoors.

Intercept Shrinkfilm is only available from FPM
FPM Inc. (named for its FANA and Protect-A-Boat Divisions) is the originator of boat and aircraft shrinkwrapping.

Engineered Material Inc., as the Lucent licensee, produces Intercept Shrinkfilm for FPM. Sample Intercept Shrinkfilm currently is available. Sizes will be available up to 20-foot wide in gusseted rolls.

Technical reports and photos of shrinkwrapped aircraft, boats, and equipment are available upon request.
