P2i Signs Deal With Samsung to Protect Selected Galaxy Smartphones With Its Liquid Protection Barrier Coating
PR83457
OXFORD, England, May 30, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
P2i [http://www.p2i.com/ ] announced partnership agreement with Samsung that
will see its Barrier nanocoating technology deployed across several smartphone
designs from 2019, extending water and liquid protection to the internal
components of selected Samsung Galaxy smartphones. P2i's Barrier will be
deployed across other smartphone models in due course. The new agreement builds
on an existing relationship between Samsung and P2i, dating back to 2014.
P2i's Barrier is a next-generation waterproofing technology that provides
higher levels of liquid protection and enables manufacturers to protect the
components, even after water gets into the device.
By using this approach, companies can protect the components on the Printed
Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) in the event of a spill or accidental short
immersion into water.
Inkang Song, Vice President, Head of Technology Strategy Group at Mobile
Communications, Samsung Electronics said: "Samsung is at the forefront of
smartphone innovation and this not only extends to the performance and the
aesthetics, but to ensuring our smartphones are reliable. Water protection is a
key part of this, with P2i providing an advanced and trusted nanotechnology solution."
Ady Moores, CEO of P2i said: "P2i is delighted to announce that Barrier is now
a part of Samsung's design on selected smartphones. P2i's Barrier increases the
reliability of smartphones and other electronic devices by creating a nanoscale
electrically insulating plasma coating on the PCBA. This provides liquid
protection against corrosion from direct and prolonged exposure to liquids."
Barrier uses a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process that
provides an electrically-insulated coating on the PCBA and critical components
in the handset. Coating thickness / protection level can be adapted to suit the
needs of the component and the technology uses a non-degrading thin nano film
that lasts for the life of the device. The coating allows re-application if a repair is made
or modular component replaced.
It is one of three classes of water protection offerings from P2i which provide
up to and exceeding IPX8 liquid protection. The company also offers
Splash-proof and Dunkable(R) coatings to firms seeking to protect electronic
equipment from liquid damage.
