Cotton Proof

How Nikwax Cotton Proof™ protects:

Nikwax Cotton Proof™ leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibres, allowing moisture vapour to pass through, maintaining breathability, prolonging the life of gear, and optimising performance in wet weather.

Nikwax Cotton Proof™ is easy and quick to apply in a washing machine and ensures that the treatment goes right through the garment. The high Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of Nikwax Cotton Proof™ develops on air drying. Therefore, the need for tumble drying is removed, saving energy.

Uses per bottle:

• Approximately 50 ml per item of clothing
• Approximately 50 ml per 3m² for tents and other equipment

For best results always clean item(s) first with Nikwax Tech Wash® in a separate wash cycle. No need to dry item(s) before waterproofing. Shake well before use. Follow care label instructions.
