OrganoTex Textile waterproofing is a biodegradable water repellent product applied on garments or textile products by 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 fibers, 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 proplematic commonly used textile chemicals.
The products are easy to use and can be either sprayed on (OrganoTex Textile waterproofing spray-on) to the textile or be used in a washing machine (OrganoTex Textile waterproofing wash-in). Which product you use is which one you find easiest for your application.
