Concentrated Tent & Gear SolarProof®

Synthetic fabrics used for tents and backpacks 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 Concentrated 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.

Tent and backpack fabrics are light and strong, but vulnerable…

Tents and backpacks use synthetic fabrics, such as nylon or polyester, with a thin watertight polyurethane (PU) or elastomeric coating on the inside and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on the outside. This combination gives great strength and water resistance, combined with light weight, ideal attributes for outdoor equipment.

Unfortunately these fabrics are vulnerable to sunlight and in two weeks of continuous exposure, can lose up to half of their strength. Additionally, the inner coating will degrade if it is left damp for long periods.

Nikwax Concentrated Tent & Gear SolarProof® protects the entire fabric, from the effects of both UV and water.

Anyone who is active outdoors needs waterproof equipment…

Whether it be a camping tent, a trusty backpack, or your camper awning, many outdoor items are exposed to both the sun and the rain. Nikwax Concentrated Tent & Gear SolarProof® protects from both, improving the performance and extending the life of your gear.

Nikwax Concentrated Tent & Gear SolarProof® can be applied by hand… IMPORTANT: Shake bottle before use. Conventional detergent can damage water repellency. Always clean first with Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash. 1. Add 5fl oz/150ml of product to 12fl oz/350ml of water in a bucket and mix well. 2. Erect tent OR protect working surface and lay item flat. 3. Apply diluted product to outside of clean, wet fabric with a spray, brush or sponge. 4. Rub into surface to ensure even coverage. 5. Wait 4-5 minutes, repeatedly remove any surplus product with a damp cloth.* *Test on hidden area first to check for color run possibility. Drying: Air dry only (after several minutes check for and remove surplus product with a damp cloth). Allow to dry fully before use or storage. Volume Guide: Use approximately 1.7fl oz/50ml of diluted product per 10 ft²/1 m² of fabric. The coverage is approximate and depends on the condition of the fabric being treated.
