P2i

P2i Ltd was the first spin-out of the DSTL in 2005. P2i’s technology is a novel plasma-surface (waterproof) coating process which initially had applications in clothing and footwear, and then later in electronics, lifestyle, bio-consumables and military. The technology offered customers improvements in performance of their products by protecting them from the effects of liquids without affecting the overall look or feel. The technology has been in production on electronic devices since 2008. Ploughshare remained involved in P2i’s growth until exiting the partnership in 2015.
