Spray-On Waterproofing for Synthetic Fabrics provides durable water and stain repellency for Gore-Tex®, eVent®, Precip®, Triple Point®, Helly-Tech®, Dry-Plus® and all other waterproof/ breathable laminated, coated or microfiber fabrics. The non-aerosol spray treatment optimizes breathability, maintains the look and feel of the garment. It is odor-free.

Spray-On Waterproofing for Synthetic Fabrics restores the durable water repellency (DWR) on garments to original levels of performance. Granger’s uses the same fluoropolymer chemistry as was applied to the fabric in the manufacturing process. This assures compatibility between the original and restorative treatments which improves performance and durability. The treatment will last through several subsequent washes. An added benefit to fluoro treatments is the oil and stain repellency they provide.
  • Adds or restores DWR finish to synthetic fabrics.
  • Spray-on application is ideal for garments with wicking liners or for gear that can not be machine washed (such as waterproof / breathable tents or bivy sacks).

Which application method (spray-on or wash-in) is best to use on my waterproof/ breathable Gore-Tex® jacket?

There are several factors that should be considered in choosing between wash-in and spray-on water repellent treatments. These include the type of garment, the manufacturer's recommendations on the care tag, convenience, and the type of lining.

Our philosophy is that a Wash-In (such as Granger’s Wash-In Waterproofing for Synthetic Fabrics) is often the most appropriate choice for use on waterproof/ breathable garments. With the Wash-In product, the washing machine does all the work and provides thorough, even coverage. Both versions maintain breathability of the Gore-Tex® waterproof / breathable membrane.

The Spray-On version is ideal for garments that cannot be machine washed or for those with high-tech ‘bi-component’ wicking liners to which you want to maintain the wicking properties of the lining. Spray-on treatments are best for most ‘soft-shell’ garments. The performance of the spray-on treatment will be excellent provided care is given to apply an even coat on the garment. The Spray-On version is a great choice when a quick 'touch-up' is desired or when a washing machine may not be convenient. Either application method is effective, but the Wash-In version has the edge when it comes to ease and thorough coverage.





HOW TO USE
Designed for garments that can be tumble-dried with heat.

Clean - Garment must be clean and free of detergent residue. For best results use Granger’s G-Wash Cleaner.

Spray - Place damp garment on hanger. Shake bottle. Hold 7 in. (18 cm) from garment and evenly spray exterior with Granger’s Spray-On Waterproofing for Synthetic Fabrics.

Dry - Tumble dry for 50 minutes on a medium (permanent press) heat setting. The treatment is heat activated so tumble drying or ironing is essential for good performance.
