NikWax Tent & Gear SolarProof® Spray-On

Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® is a high-performance waterproofing and UV blocker designed for all synthetic weatherproof textiles. Here's a detailed guide on how to use it effectively:

Key Features:

• Waterproofing: Adds durable water repellency to synthetic fabrics, increasing fabric strength and protecting against UV deterioration.
• UV Protection: Shields fabrics from UV damage, helping to prolong their lifespan.
• Safe and Environmentally Friendly: Water-based, non-flammable, VOC-free, and fluorocarbon-free.

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Clean the item(s) thoroughly before waterproofing. There's no need to dry them before application.

2. Application:

   • Protect the working surface and lay the clean, wet item flat, or erect the tent and wet it.
   • Spray the SolarProof® evenly onto the outside of the fabric, avoiding rucksack straps.
   • Wait for 2 minutes, then remove any surplus product with a damp cloth.
   • Check carefully to ensure no areas have been missed.
   • After several minutes, check for and remove any surplus product with a damp cloth. Marks may appear on the fabric if excess product is not wiped away. It's advisable to test on a hidden area first.

3. Usage Guidelines:

   • Approximately 50ml of product is required per 1m² of fabric.
   • The coverage is approximate and may vary depending on the fabric's condition.

4. Maintenance:

   • To maintain waterproofing, always clean with Nikwax SolarWash®. Avoid using detergents.

Notes:

• Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® can be applied to wet or dry fabrics, eliminating the need to wait for them to dry.
• For best results, apply the product to new equipment to maximize its UV and durable water repellent (DWR) protection from the start.
• Over time, both the DWR and UV protection may wear off through use. Reapply SolarProof® to replenish these properties.

By following these instructions, you can effectively waterproof and protect your outdoor equipment with Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof®, ensuring its longevity and performance in various weather conditions.
