{"product_id":"nikwax-tent-and-gear-solar-and-water-proof-500ml","title":"Nikwax Tent and Gear Solar and Water Proof 500ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eSynthetic fabrics used for tents and backpacks are coated with a water-repellent treatment. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light both destroys the water-repellency, and leads to a reduction in fabric tear-strength, significantly shortening the lifespan of equipment. The application of Nikwax Tent \u0026amp; Gear SolarProof can double the effective life of equipment, by protecting against UV damage, while also providing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) to keep the rain out.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTents and backpacks use synthetic fabrics, such as nylon or polyester, with a thin watertight polyurethane (PU) or elastomeric coating on the inside, and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on the outside. This combination gives great strength and water-resistance, combined with light weight; ideal attributes for outdoor equipment. Unfortunately these fabrics are vulnerable to sunlight, and in two weeks of continuous exposure, can lose up to half of their strength. Additionally, the inner coating will degrade if it is left damp for long periods. Nikwax Tent \u0026amp; Gear SolarProof® protects the entire fabric, from the effects of both UV and water.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eEasy-to-use spray-on waterproofing and UV-blocker for all synthetic tents, packs, and outdoor covers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAdds water-repellency, increases fabric strength, and protects against UV deterioration\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eEnhances the performance of your tent and gear, and doubles their useful life\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for all synthetic tents and gear\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd colspan=\"99\"\u003eDWR and UV-Blocker\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eFor Use On\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd colspan=\"99\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSynthetic\u003c\/b\u003e Tents and Gear\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eApplication Method\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd colspan=\"99\"\u003eSpray-On\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eft\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e Treated per Bottle\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd colspan=\"99\"\u003e107\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eContainer Size\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd colspan=\"99\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e16.9 fl oz\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e500 mL\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003ctd colspan=\"99\"\u003eMade in \u003cb\u003eThe UK\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Nikwax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50722131640606,"sku":"DL3A2","price":26.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/4395\/2414\/files\/tent-and-gear-solarproof-spray-on-500-ml.png?v=1779210397","url":"https:\/\/www.trailheadpaddleshack.ca\/products\/nikwax-tent-and-gear-solar-and-water-proof-500ml","provider":"Trailhead Paddle Shack","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
