Keep Dry with Waterproof Promotional Products

Rain, rain, and more rain with maybe some snow.

The winter months are not known for their dry weather and happy faces. However, we are now (fingers crossed) able to see the light at the end of the dark winter tunnel, with mornings breaking earlier and the nights rolling in later, spring is on its way in and we're SO ready! However, we're not quite out of the winter weather territory yet, so taking a closer look at our waterproof promotional products seemed appropriate!

What is waterproofing?

Waterproofing is the process of making an object or structure waterproof or water-resistant so that it remains relatively unaffected by water or resisting the ingress of water under specified conditions. Such items may be used in wet environments or underwater to specified depths. Waterproofing methods have been implemented in many types of objects, including paper packaging, cosmetics, and more recently, consumer electronics.

Electronic devices used in military and severe commercial environments are routinely coated in accordance with IPC-CC-830 to resist moisture and corrosion but encapsulation is needed to become truly waterproof. Even though it is possible to find waterproof wrapping or other types of protective cases for electronic devices, new technology enabled the release of diverse waterproof smartphones and tablets in 2013. This method is based on a special nanotechnology coating a thousand times thinner than human hair which protects electronic equipment from damage due to the penetration of water. Several manufacturers use the nano coating method on their smartphones, tablets, and digital cameras.
