Ion-mask scoops industry innovation award
19/03/2009
The technology was honoured in the footwear innovation category at the 2009 Company Clothing Awards, held in London on March 12.
Ion-mask uses a patented gas plasma process to permanently alter the properties of treated materials at a molecular level. The plasma treatment deposits a uniformly-applied, microscopically thin layer that dramatically increases water and oil repellency so that liquids bead and run off without leaving any trace. The result is a protective shield that also greatly enhances comfort without affecting look or feel.
Commenting on the award, Carl Francis, chief executive of P2i, said: “This technology has truly huge potential to add value for manufacturers in a vast number of product categories, wherever there is an appetite for high-performance products with ground-breaking benefits built-in.”
