Why UV exposure can threaten synthetic materials...
Synthetic fabrics used to make tents and rucksacks are coated with a water-repellent treatment. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation destroys water-repellency and also leads to a reduction in fabric tear strength, which significantly shortens the lifespan of the equipment.
Applying Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash can double the effective lifespan of your equipment by cleaning and protecting against UV damage whilst restoring durable water-repellency (DWR) to keep rain out.
Tent and rucksack fabrics are lightweight and strong, but vulnerable...
Tents and rucksacks use synthetic fabrics such as nylon or polyester, with a thin waterproof polyurethane (PU) or elastomeric layer on the inside and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) layer on the outside. This combination provides great strength and water resistance combined with low weight, which are ideal properties for outdoor equipment.
Unfortunately, these fabrics are sensitive to sunlight and can lose up to half their strength after two weeks of continuous exposure. In addition, the internal coating degrades if left wet for extended periods.
Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash cleans the entire fabric and protects it from the effects of UV radiation and water.
Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash is a water-based product...
Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash has been specially designed and optimised for outdoor equipment to effectively clean, restore water-repellency (DWR) and add ultraviolet (UV) protection... Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash can be used on wet or dry fabrics. If your equipment is wet, there is no need to wait for it to dry before treating it with Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash.
To achieve the best results, make sure you use the correct product...
Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash has been specially developed to effectively clean, restore water-repellency (DWR) and add ultraviolet (UV) protection to all weather-resistant textiles including cotton, canvas and all synthetic fabrics.
For effective cleaning of outdoor clothing and synthetic sleeping bags, use Nikwax Tech Wash.
