Waterproofing Nikwax Tent & Gear Solar Proof 500 ml

Tent & Gear SolarProof® is easy to use, safe, high performance waterproofing and UV blocker for all synthetic weatherproof textiles.

Synthetic fabrics used for tents and rucksacks are coated with a water repellent treatment. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light both destroys the water repellency and leads to a reduction in fabric tear strength, significantly shortening the lifespan of equipment.

The application of Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® can double the effective life of equipment by protecting against UV damage, while also providing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) to keep the rain out.

Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR), to the maximum testable standard, and ultraviolet (UV) protection, to inhibit the reduction of fabric tear strength caused by UV rays.

Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® can be applied to wet or dry synthetic fabrics. It is WaterBased, non-aerosol, non-flammable, non-hazardous and environmentally friendly. It contains no harmful solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and is completely fluorocarbon free.

Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® saves you money by potentially doubling the useful life of your gear.

• Spray evenly to outside of fabric. Avoid rucksack straps.
• 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*.

Use approximately 50ml of product per 1m² of fabric.

The coverage is approximate and depends on the condition of the fabric being treated.
