Nikwax Tent & Gear Solarproof 500ml

Easier. Safer. Drier.

Although tents and rucksacks are coated with a water repellent treatment, exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light both destroys its water repellence and leads to a reduction in fabric tear strength, and shortening the lifespan of equipment.

The Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof features a unique formula that protects the entire fabric of tents and other gear from the effects of both UV and water. A single application of the Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof saves you money by potentially doubling the useful life of your gear. And what's more, it can be applied to wet or dry synthetic fabrics. Plus, it's water-based, non-aerosol, non-flammable, non-hazardous and environmentally-friendly.

Whether it be a day-to-day rucksack, panniers on your bike, or a tent for summer holidays, most of us have outdoor equipment of some description. Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof helps your equipment to work better and for longer.

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

How to Apply

• For best results always clean item(s) first. No need to dry item(s) before waterproofing.
  
• Protect working surface and lay clean wet item flat, or erect tent and wet.
  
• 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.

Note: Marks may appear on fabric if excess product is not wiped away. Test on a hidden area first. Use approximately 50ml of product per 1m2 of fabric. The coverage is approximate and depends on the condition of the fabric being treated.
