## Surfaces & applications

Textile finishing; footwear fabrics; upholstered furniture; seat covers; tablecloths and compatible leather surfaces

## Repellency for textile surfaces

The treatment reduces wetting and contamination on compatible textiles. It is intended for applications such as footwear fabrics, upholstery, seat covers and tablecloths where spill resistance and ease of care matter. A repellent finish does not make seams, zips or an entire assembled item watertight.

## Dilute the concentrate before use

Use a product-to-purified-water ratio of 1:10. Mix evenly and trial the diluted treatment on a representative piece of fabric. Check liquid uptake, colour change, touch, drying and the required repellent effect before treating finished goods.

## Fibre and fabric selection

Listed substrates include nylon, polyester, acetate, viscose, acrylic and polyurethane/spandex textiles, with suitable leather applications also shown. Fibre type, dyes, prior finishes and fabric construction affect uptake and performance. Evaluate the finished fabric rather than relying on fibre name alone.

## Air drying and fabric feel

Allow the treated article to dry thoroughly with good ventilation before evaluating repellency or packing it. Breathability and the original fabric feel are important selection criteria alongside water beading. Use consistent application across the full surface to avoid uneven performance.

## Care and repeat-use testing

The treatment is presented as wash-resistant, but durability depends on the fabric, treatment level and cleaning routine. For commercial finishing, evaluate repellency after the intended laundering or cleaning cycle. Keep concentrate sealed in a cool, dry place and use within the stated shelf life.

   Apply the diluted treatment evenly using a method suited to the article. Avoid patchy coverage and excessive local soaking.

   Let the fabric dry completely, then evaluate water beading, appearance, feel and performance after the intended care cycle.
