Magnum Footwear launch a stunning new tactical boot featuring ion-mask™ technology

Magnum Boots have long been the leading brand of uniform footwear used by law enforcement, military, fire/rescue and emergency medical agencies throughout the UK.
Now Magnum has teamed up with P2i, and brought their groundbreaking ion-maskâ„¢ technology to the tactical footwear industry.
The new Magnum Elite Force 8.0 Ion Mask Boot features all the benefits of the standard Magnum Elite series of police boots but with the addition of this powerful new technology.

ion-maskâ„¢ is a patented plasma-based technology, developed originally for the UK military, designed to repel chemicals and protect soldiers from chemical attack.
It combats chemical agents by forming a permanent protective treatment which bonds the entire surface of a material on a molecular level. This newly created surface repels water and all other liquids by forcing them to bead and run-off.

The main benefits of the Magnum Elite Force 8.0 Ion Mask Boot: 

• Chemical Resistant - With surface energy three times lower than PTFE (Teflon), all surfaces enhanced by the ion-maskâ„¢ process not only become hydrophobic to water but are also able to repel oil, petrol and other chemicals. 

• Pathogen Resistant - These same repellent properties also prevent absorption of blood borne pathogens and other liquid borne pathogens. 

• Waterproof - The plasma process enables polymers to infuse to the boots on a sub-microscopic scale. This means that every single fibre is given a layer of water-repellent polymer only molecules thick. 

• Hydrophobic - Furthermore, the ion-maskâ„¢ process means the fibres on even open-weave materials become repellent, and therefore non-absorbent. 

• Breathable - Enhancing every fibre, not just the outer layer, means the entire shoe inside and out is treated. This eliminates the need for a waterproof membrane (or “bootie constructionâ€) so the shoe is as breathable before the process as after. 

• Lightweight - The shoe is also lighter (approximately 35 grams for a mid-cut size 9) than its membrane equivalent. In fact, unlike a membrane construction, the treated shoe will not gain weight when used in wet conditions as the material no longer retains water. 

• Stay-Clean - ion-maskâ„¢ enhancement also helps to keep footwear cleaner longer. As with water, the treatment helps to repel dirt and reduce staining. 

• Environmentally-friendly - Only tiny quantities of chemicals are needed, with minimal waste, so the ion-maskâ„¢ process is also highly-efficient compared with traditional methods such as dip application (DWRs) or membrane technologies. Equally, the process is activated at room temperature (unlike membrane technology which is formed at 320º F) making it one of the most climate-friendly footwear technologies available.

Underneath all this Ion-Mask waterproof technology there is a fantastic boot constructed to the usual high standards you would expect from Magnum Boots. It features: 

• Full grain leather upper

• Cambrelle moisture wicking lining

• Agion antibacterial treatment

• Coats barbour anti-fraying stitching thread

• Durable non-metallic composite hardware (entire boot is X-ray friendly)

• Composite shank

• Compression moulded EVA midsole

• Abrasion resistant heel kick pad

• Ortholite uniform footbed

• Exclusive Magnum Vibram® outsole

• Certified to EN ISO20347 OB E FO CI HRO WR WRU AN SRA

The Magnum Elite Force 8.0 Ion Mask Boot (and of course the entire range of standard Magnum Boots) is available to buy now at our specialist cop store for UK police officers

Do these scale markers look accurate?

It's a drawing we had to do of our microscope view of a Ficus leaf. I had to make a marker for it, and one is X10 power, and the other is X40 (high power). The X10 is really X100 because of the other lens. Does that mean that the X40 is really X400?
And do the scale markers at the bottom look accurate? My handwriting is awful, but it's measured in micrometers.

Yes actually they look pretty good =]
