NEW ORLEANS, May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- From ShowStoppers @ CTIA Wireless 2012 – HzO, Inc., winner of the Utah Innovation Award, arrives at CTIA Showstoppers making waves with its WaterBlock™ technology, a proprietary use of advanced materials that protect electronics from water, humidity and other liquids.
"We revolutionize the way consumers use their mobile devices," said Paul Clayson, president and chief executive of HzO, Inc. "That technology will be showcased at CTIA Wireless."
Unlike other water-resistant solutions that coat the exterior of a device, HzO's cutting-edge technology applies protective coating from the inside out. This process offers maximum protection against splashes, spills and even full submersion.
"At an ever-increasing rate, consumers are relying on electronics to keep them connected," Clayson said. "Accidents happen. Consumers make large investments in their devices. We help protect their investment."
Highlighting the global attention HzO is receiving, the company recently announced the $3 million preferred equity investment of Horizon Ventures, Ltd., a Hong Kong investment firm that manages the private investments in the technology sector of Mr. Li Ka-shing.
"Horizons Ventures believes HzO's technology expands the world of mobile connectivity as it meets global consumers' new expectations for mobile devices," said Jason Wong, chief financial officer of Horizons Ventures. Mr. Wong serves in Horizon's seat on the HzO board of directors.
