About us
P2i is the world leader in liquid-repellent nano-coating technology.
Our revolutionary plasma process dramatically reduces the surface energy of a material, so that when liquids come into contact with it, they form beads and simply roll off. This enables our customers to dramatically improve the performance of their products by protecting them from the effects of water and all other liquids, without affecting the look or feel.
P2i has two consumer brands for its technology:
ion-mask™, for footwear, outdoor clothing and accessories, and Aridion™, for consumer electronics. For industrial applications, the technology is covered by the corporate P2i brand.
P2i's headquarters, which are based in the UK, encompass R&D, machine build, processing and administration. P2i Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of P2i, is based at the Herty Advanced Material Development Center in Savannah, Georgia, and is fully equipped to provide demonstration, sampling and processing facilities.
The P2i name reflects the three core benefits provided by our technology: Perform, Protect, Improve.
