Cotton proof nikwax 300ml for cotton

Easy to use, safe, and highly efficient impregnation for cotton, cotton-polyester blends, and canvas to be used in the washing machine.
Provides durable hydrophobicity, reducing weight gain and maintaining the breathable properties of cotton, cotton-polyester blends, and canvas in rainy weather.

Cotton is a natural fiber. As such, it is renewable, biodegradable, and can be produced organically. It is very versatile and can be used to make many fabrics, each with different properties. Additionally, cotton can be blended with synthetic fibers, such as polyester, combining the desired properties of both materials.
Cotton fabrics are breathable, absorbent, and strong. They are used in the production of clothing and outdoor equipment, but are not naturally hydrophobic.

Cotton items may absorb water simply because they are dirty. First, try cleaning the items with Nikwax Tech Wash®, and if they are fairly new or have recently been reproofed, cleaning alone should be enough to enhance the durable water repellency (DWR). But if the items have been heavily used, they should be reproofed by adding a DWR coating using Nikwax Cotton Proof™ after cleaning them with Nikwax Tech Wash®.

Nikwax Cotton Proof™ has been specially designed and optimized for breathable cotton, cotton-polyester blends, and canvas; it leaves a flexible hydrophobic layer on individual fibers, allowing moisture vapors to escape, maintaining breathability, extending the life of the equipment, and optimizing its performance in rainy weather.
Nikwax Cotton Proof™ is easy and quick to apply during machine washing, and applying the product during washing ensures that it penetrates the fabric. Durable water repellency (DWR) is developed during air drying, eliminating the need for tumble drying and saving energy.

For best results, wash the items separately with Nikwax Tech Wash® before proofing. The proof can be applied to damp items without the need for pre-drying. Shake well before use. Follow the instructions on the label.
