P2i is also looking to create a standard to which all manufacturers can adhere for making phones water resistant, which would make networks more likely to range the phones if they were to need fewer repairs.
"There is major interest from carriers in the US to discuss criteria to help against water ingestion for customers," said Eric Cohill, COO for P2i.
"We're working with major carriers to create a standard of performance [for water repellence] which can give OEMs something to work to when creating smartphones.
"There are several hundred pound gorillas in the phone industry, we've got the 'fruity companies' and the big Korean brands, and they're all becoming interested [in our technology] as they don't want to be second best in the market."
