Apart from watches for deep sea divers or athletes, there was not much need for serious protection against water. The market for water\u00a0resistant\u00a0electronics was so small until the appearance of smartphones and wearables. The demand of water resistant\u00a0devices has been increasing and changed the face of the entire market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The current\u00a0method provides your smartphones with water resistance is called nanocoatings.\u00a0Liquipel, HzO and P2i are the manufacturers that produce nanocoatings\u00a0that are said to be 1000 times thinner than a human hair.\u00a0To apply these nanocoatings, the device is placed in a plasma-enhanced vapour (high density of plasma vapour) \u00a0in a vacuum chamber at room temperature.\u00a0There is a gaseous polymer that plays the main\u00a0role in water-proofing in this\u00a0plasma-enhanced vapour.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- MY End of Content -->\n            <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n                 style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\n                 data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n                 data-ad-slot=\"7887885268\"><\/ins>\n            <script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script>\n            <!-- MY News Mobile Middle -->\n                                <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n                                     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\n                                     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n                                     data-ad-slot=\"3890141663\"><\/ins>\n                                <script>\n                                (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n                                <\/script><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23266\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/water-resistance.jpg\" alt=\"water resistance\" width=\"444\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/water-resistance.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/water-resistance-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/water-resistance-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The water resistance is formed when such vapour contacts\u00a0both onboard and outside of the device. The gaseous polymer from the vapour make water bead up and slide\u00a0off the phone surface. Thus\u00a0it is a coat to shield the smartphone.\u00a0If water penetrates into\u00a0the phone, the polymer layer is still there. Normally, the manufacturer will make\u00a0the components in tow with the same process, so they\u00a0will be fully protected.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Water resistance and IP rating: are they related?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We all hear about\u00a0Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, along with the Galaxy S7 are IP68 certified. So what is the IP? IP is an abbreviation of Ingress Protection Rating which an international standard. The IP rating given to a device is backed up by controlled tests.\u00a0IP rating including two parts, which can be given in the format IP<em>XY.\u00a0<\/em>While\u00a0<em>X<\/em> is a rating for physical ingress,\u00a0<em>Y<\/em> is the rating for liquid ingress. The higher Y is, the more water resistant your device is.<\/p>\n<div class=\"903844ba193d23ab2be2617b0fd6a8be\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- MY End of Content -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7887885268\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost all smartphones have been said to function water\u00a0resistant\u00a0feature, have you ever wondered what it is and how it works?
