Ion-Mask Coating Could Make Waterproofing
Electronics Easy

from the spray-on-foan-rubber dept.
Engadget is reporting that a new chemical coating, originally designed to repel
toxic vapors and liquids from soldiers' uniforms, may be the solution to small
waterproof electronics. "The Ion-Mask is a special invisible
coating that is chemically bonded to the device and repels water. It should
allow waterproofing to make it into devices that are too small for the seals
that are usually used to do the trick. Devices can have joins and gaps coated
for a general level of water repellence, or have individual components treated
for even more protection."
