OrganoTex Textile waterproofing is a biodegradable water repellent product applied on garments or textile products by spray-on or wash-in in washing machines. The product re-impregnate garments and textile products where the previous impregnation has been worn-out or impregnates garments or textile products that never has had water repellent properties. The product was awarded with the Scandinavian Outdoor Sustainability Award in 2018.
After extensive use, most outdoor garments lose their water repellent properties due to mechanical abrasion or severe washing. OrganoTex Textile waterproofing effectively restores the water repellent properties to the garments. The products can however, also be used for impregnation of clothes and textile products that have never had water repellent properties such as fashion clothes, pillows or textile furniture. As the products are not film forming and binds effectively to the fibres, the softness and breathability of the fabrics are not affected and the garments thus remain their original feeling.
The products are readily biodegradable in accordance with OECD 301C, free from fluorocarbons (e.g. PFAS, PFOS, PFOA), cyclic siloxanes, isocyanates and other problematic commonly used textile chemicals.
OrganoTex Textile waterproofing spray-on is a universal impregnation that can be used on most textiles to improve the water and dirt repellent function.
