Nikwax Tent And Gear Solarproof Spray
- Easy to use spray-on waterproofing and UV blocker for all synthetic tents, packs, and outdoor covers
- Adds water repellency, increases fabric strength and protects against UV deterioration
- Enhances the performance of your tent and gear and doubles their useful life
- Unlike solvent-based products, which need to be applied to dry materials, Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® can be applied to wet or dry fabrics so no need to wait if your tent is wet
- Can double the effective life of synthetic waterproof fabrics by protecting against UV damage while simultaneously providing DWR to keep rain out
- It is best applied to equipment from new to get the most effective benefit
- Water based, non-aerosol, non-flammable, contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), fluorocarbon free and environmentally friendly
- Revilatise fabrics by regularly cleaning dirt and other contaminants off with Nikwax Tech Wash ® and, as you notice the fabric's DWR and UV protection is decreasing, revitalise with Tent & Gear Solarproof
- Approximately 50ml required per 1m2, exact amount will depend on the condition of the fabric being treated
- To use:
- For best results always clean item(s) first. No need to dry item(s) before waterproofing.
- Protect working surface and lay clean wet item flat, or erect tent and wet
- Spray evenly to outside of fabric. Avoid backpack strap.
- Wait for 2 minutes. Remove any surplus product with a damp cloth
- Check carefully to ensure no areas have been missed
- After several minutes check for and remove surplus product with a damp cloth. Marks may appear on fabric if excess product is not wiped away. Test on a hidden area first.
- To maintain waterproofing always clean with Nikwax SolarWash. Do not use detergents.
- If your equipment is made of cotton, polycotton or canvas, make sure you use Nikwax Cotton Proof™ for best results.
