This process delivers an amazing level of liquid repellency to whole products including: electronics, lenses, hard surfaced equipment, fabrics and footwear. It is Ultimate Protection against Hazardous Chemicals and Toxins for Military, State Emergency, Police and Fire Personnel Treating Fabrics That Remain Breathable and Without Altering Their Original Properties.
There are two types of water repellency treatments used for different product types, Aridion and Ion Mask.
Electrical Properties
The Aridion coating has no effect on the electrical properties of a device:
Water Uptake
Ion-mask™ provides reduced water uptake, in fabrics and shoes and speeds drying times. An EN ISO 20345 standard, Test done on 12th of Sept 2007 in Lyon by CTC (Centre Technique Cuir) showed that during the testing water uptake of an untreated shoe was over 20 grams at the 3 hour mark. The P2i treated equivalent’s uptake was only 5 grams over 3 hours. The test is designed to mimic walking in long wet grass.
