TX Direct Spray on is designed to add water repellency to the fabric of waterproof garments. Why? Well if the face fabric of your expensive waterproof clothing gets wet, the breathable technology behind it (Gore-Tex, Event etc) cannot breathe. You know what its like the first time you go out in the rain with a new jacket, the water beads up and rolls off. Then after some time this stops happening and your jacket gets all wet and heavy, it "wets out", and feels damp and clammy on the inside. TX Direct will reduce wetting out and maintain the performance of your outdoor clothing like new. Used regularly it will prolong the life of garments and enhance performance. TX Direct Spray on is applied directly to the face fabric to avoid compromising the performance of garments with wicking liners and is also suitable for non-machine washable items.
We recommend that all garments are cleaned with Nikwax Tech Wash prior to re-proofing. Wash your garment (by hand or by machine where appropriate) with Tech Wash, and then re-proof with TX Direct. Leave your garment to air dry naturally, there is no need for tumble drying or ironing to activate the proofing.
TX Direct Nikwax waterproofing products are Water Based, non-aerosol, non-flammable, non-hazardous and environmentally friendly. They contain no harmful solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and are completely free of fluorocarbons (which have been shown to be persistent in the environment and have been associated with serious health issues).
