Technology
P2i's patented technology employs a special pulsed ionised gas (plasma), which is created within a vacuum chamber, to attach a nanometre-thin polymer layer over the entire surface of a product.
This dramatically lowers the product's surface energy, so that when liquids come into contact with it, they form beads and simply run off.
The coating is molecularly bound to the product surface at a nanoscopic level, which means it becomes inseparable from it and is as durable as the material it protects. And because the coating is one thousand times thinner than a human hair, it is invisible to sight or touch. Plus, because the application process is solvent-free and uses only tiny quantities of protective monomer, there is minimal waste and no adverse impact on the environment.
Tests show that P2i's patented nano-coating technology can deliver performance benefits for a wide range of materials, including polymers, metals, fabrics, leather, ceramics, glass and paper. Even complex, 3D objects incorporating several different materials can be treated successfully with the P2i process.
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.
