Nikwax Tent & Gear Solarproof adds a durable, water repellent coating to your tent and gear, strengthening fabric and providing UV protection to prevent sun damage to synthetic weatherproof fabrics. It is supplied in a convenient pouch and is easy to apply. One application can double the lifespan of tent fabric. Tent & Gear Solarproof can be used on both new and used tents and gear to maintain their condition. It is recommended to treat gear with this spray on its first use. The product is safe, non-flammable, and water-based, containing no harmful solvents or fluorocarbons. It provides superior waterproofing and doubles the useful life of fabrics by protecting against UV damage. The formula is lightweight and concentrated for easy transport and storage, allowing gear to dry quickly for packing. It can be applied to wet fabrics. For best results, clean items first. Concentrated Tent and Gear SolarProof should be diluted with water before use (2 parts product to 5 parts water). Apply the diluted product evenly to the outside of the fabric using a spray, brush, or sponge, avoiding rucksack straps. For large items, apply in sections. Remove any surplus product with a damp cloth and ensure no areas are missed. Use approximately 50ml of diluted product per 1m² of fabric; coverage may vary based on fabric condition. To maintain waterproofing, wash with Nikwax Tech Wash and avoid detergents. For cotton, polycotton, or canvas, use Nikwax Cotton Proof.
