What are Anti-Tarnish Tabs?
They're a special absorbent paper that
incorporates 3M Tarni-Shield Technology. This technology is designed to inhibit
tarnish or discoloration of metals in transit or storage. They protect jewelry, flatware, serving
pieces, musical instruments, trophies and other items. Strips protect silver, nickel, copper, bronze, brass,
tin, pewter and gold.
How do they work?
When exposed to surrounding airspace the
activated sites immediately go to work scavenging corrosive agents such as
hydrogen sulfide (main tarnish causing agent), sulfur dioxide, nitrogen
dioxide (a secondary pollutant of photochemical smog, also produced in
combustion process), ozone, hydrogen, chloride and chlorine and organic
carboxylic acid.
How long will these Tabs protect?
Length of time depends on permeability of the
storage or shipping container and the pollution level of the surrounding
atmosphere. These estimates may very based on location.
A. Loosely sealed container (Cardboard box)
6 months
B. Moderately tight seal (flap top bag)
12 months
c. Tightly Sealed (zip-lock bag)
24 months
We store all of ours in 1 or 2 ziplock bags
and squeeze all of the air out of the bag so they are virtually air tight.
We get new stock in about every 1-2 months so they stay fresh.
Are the strips safe?
Yes, completely safe and non-toxic. They do not
emit anything, and they leave no residue on the metals being protected.
