The IPX7 is part of the internationally recognized level of protection (IP) specification used to define the level of effectiveness of water intrusion.IPX7 rating for smartphones refers to waterproofing of handsets that can continue to operate after immersion for 30 minutes at 1 meter depth , This rating provides consumers with the highest level of robustness and product warranties for mobile devices.
IPX7 tests were conducted on three handsets from the top five smartphone manufacturers worldwide.These handsets were placed in 1 meter deep ionized water for 30 minutes and all the handsets were able to continue without causing any damage or threat to user safety. The testing was managed and validated on behalf of clients by third-party testing lab National Technical Systems (NTS), which again demonstrated Semblant's ability to help achieve the highest level of product protection and ruggedness in the industry.
While some companies still rely on complex and expensive mechanical solutions to achieve higher levels of waterproofing, Semblant offers the highest level of waterproof protection through nano-coating only, says Simon McElrea, CEO of IPX7. 'Semblant "In fact, we are the only nano-coating company in the mass market that currently has IPX7 certified handsets, and most mobile device companies, especially some of China's fastest-growing companies, do not have the time, resources and budget to pay for each New cell phone design water-resistant feature, they now require only a simple, seamless integration of nanocoating steps into their manufacturing processes to achieve the same level of IPX7 protection for their devices. "
Semblant's latest MobileShield ™ product was rapidly adopted in 2017 and has been used on nearly 10 million handsets since the third quarter to give them IPX 7. MobileShield ™ gives consumers longer phone lifetimes and they They can also carry their smartphones anywhere. For manufacturers, this technology greatly reduces equipment replacement costs for the entire value chain by providing a very economical, sustainable, reworkable protection solution A huge economic interest.
