Magnum has joined forces with P2i, pioneering the introduction of their groundbreaking ion-mask™ technology to the tactical footwear industry. Ion-mask™ is a patented plasma-based technology originally developed for the UK military to repel chemicals and protect soldiers from chemical attack. It permanently alters the surface of a product at a molecular level to repel water and other liquids, even blood pathogens- which are forced to bead up like mercury and simply run-off to protect the wearer.

Features:

Chemical Resistant  - With surface energy three times lower than PTFE (Teflon) all surfaces enhanced by the ion-mask™process not only become hydrophobic to water but are also able to repel oil petrol and other chemicals.

Pathogen Resistant  - These same repellant properties also prevent absorption of blood borne pathogens and other liquid borne pathogens.

Waterproof - The plasma process enables polymers to infuse to the shoes/boots on a sub-microscopic scale. This Hydrophobic Furthermore the ion-mask™ process means the fibers on even open-weave materials become repellent and therefore non-absorbent.

Breathable - Enhancing every fibre not just the outer layer means the entire shoe inside and out is treated. This eliminates the need for a waterproof membrane or “bootie construction” so the shoe is as breathable before the process as after.

Lightweight - The shoe is also lighter approximately 35 grams for a mid-cut size 9 than its membrane equivalent. In fact unlike a membrane construction the treated shoe will not gain weight when used in wet conditions as the material no longer retains water.

Stay-Clean - ion-mask Environmentally-friendly Only tiny quantities of chemicals are needed with minimal waste.
