Description

Easy to use technical cleaner with UV protection for cotton, canvas and synthetic tents, awnings marquees, rucksacks, paniers and camera bags.

Cleans effectively, revitalises water repellency, and improves the useful life of fabrics by protecting against UV deterioration.

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 SolarWash can double the effective life of equipment by cleaning and protecting against UV damage, while also revitalising Durable Water Repellency (DWR) to keep the rain out.

Tents and rucksacks use synthetic fabrics, such as nylon or polyester, with a thin watertight polyurethane (PU) or elastomeric coating on the inside and a 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 Tent & Gear SolarWash cleans the entire fabric, and protects from the effects of both UV and water.

Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash is a safe product to use on your outdoor equipment. It is WaterBased, non-flammable, and fluorocarbon free.

Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash has been specifically designed and optimised for outdoor equipment to clean effectively, revive DWR and add ultraviolet (UV) protection.. Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash can be applied to wet or dry fabrics. If your equipment is wet there is no need to wait for it to dry before you treat it with Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash
