About P2i
P2i Ltd was established in 2004 as part of the UK Ministry of Defence’s programme of commercialisation of government technologies.
P2i Ltd was the first commercial spin-out for Dstl and relocated to Milton Park in Oxfordshire in January 2006.
Our plasma enhancement technology stemmed from over six years of R&D and in-field use of ensuring lighter and more effective millitary protective clothing against chemical attack.
Ion-mask™ enhancement provided the answer, treating entire garments so that even zips were made highly liquid repellent. The breakthrough opened the door to potentially limitless applications.
P2i has exclusive access to commercialising the ion-mask™ technology and is now commercialising it for the medical, biosciences, electronics, textile and automotive & aerospace markets.
