I've seen ads for "Lighthouse quadrum" 2x2's. Their description is the same as intercept shield. Are they the same basic holder?

I knew who Lighthouse was, it's the Quadrum holders I'd never heard of. Still don't know much about 'em as there is limited info there. But from the looks of things it's the same material Amos uses for their holders. It's just an inert foam rubber type of stuff that holds the coin inside the holder. Reasonably certain it has none of the properties of Intercept Shield or they'd be talkin it up all over the place.
So basically it's like a 2x2 of Air Tites? Gotcha. Follow-up - does anyone sell the Intercept Shield modern 1/2 dollar holder? All the sites I've seen show them "unavailable".
It has been almost a year since the last post on this thread. Has anyone tried the Quadrum holders? I was thinking of buying some and then keeping them in an Intercept Shield 2x2 storage box. Any thoughts? GatewayCoinGuy
Does anyone know if these Quadrum holders are safe for coins? I have never heard of them but they have the sizes I need for my collection.
more research: Quadrum holders are safe for coins: Square coin capsules made of high-quality, scratch-resistant plastic. Both capsules and black inserts are chemically inert and free of PVC, acids or softeners. Securely locking, yet easy-to-open. Capsules incl. precise-fit black insert for all coins with a ** mm diameter
