OrganoTex Spray-On 500 ml

OrganoClick AB
OrganoClick is a Swedish environmental technology company that develops, produces and markets functional material technologies based on nature-inspired fiber chemistry and has developed, among others, OrganoTex.
OrganoClick’s patented and award-winning technology for modifying textile fibers is completely free of problematic perfluorinated substances (PFAS), cyclic siloxanes or isocyanates that are often used in today’s textile impregnations.
Several of these substances are suspected of being carcinogenic and endocrine disruptors and are extremely persistent in nature.
OrganoClick also markets technologies for functional wood, industrial textiles and the biocomposite OrganoComp®.

The company was founded in 2006, based on research at Stockholm University and SLU in Uppsala, and has since won several awards for its strong growth and its environmental chemical techniques. Examples are e.g. WWF “Climate Solver” and listed globally as a Sustainia100 company.

DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish
Most outdoor textiles are industrially treated with a water-repellent finish which in the Sports and Outdoor industry is often referred to as a DWR (Durable Water Repellent).
However, a DWR is washed out afterwards and in order for the garment’s function to be maintained, the outer fabric needs to be re-impregnated.
If the outer fabric gets wet, it prevents the body vapor from being vented out through the material and you can feel wet and cold even though the jacket or trousers do not leak water.
It is therefore important to regularly re-impregnate your functional clothing and outdoor textiles that you want to keep dry and functional.
Why a PFC-free (fluorocarbon-free) impregnation?
Since the 1950s, textile impregnations have contained fluorocarbons such as PFOA (C8).
The problem with these is that they have been shown to have endocrine-disrupting properties and do not break down in nature.
OrganoClick has therefore developed OrganoTex®, a fluorocarbon-free and also quickly biodegradable textile impregnation for the textile industry and for consumers.

PRODUCT SHEET SPRAY-ON 500 ml
OrganoTex® Spray-On textile waterproofing is a universal impregnation that can be used on most textiles where you want to improve the water and dirt repellent function. The product recreates the water-repellent ability of the textile while maintaining the textile’s color, structure and vapor permeability, which is important for all types of functional garments.

Suitable for:
Waterproof functional garments (with all types of waterproof membranes), other outerwear, down products, hiking pants, windbreakers, tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, textile shoes and other outdoor textiles such as outdoor cushions, parasols, etc.

Can be used on:
Polyester, polyamide, soft-shell, wool, fleece, cotton, canvas, acrylic and various blends.
Best effect is achieved on synthetic materials, such as polyamide and polyester.

Here’s how:
1) wash the textile/garment (without fabric softener) and make sure the material is completely dry.
2) protect the work surface, shake the bottle and spray the garment/textile from a distance of 20 cm and make sure that the entire material is evenly moistened.
3) wait 1 minute and spray again and distribute the liquid evenly with a cloth (protective gloves are recommended as the product has a fairly low PH).
4) wipe away excess liquid with a cloth or sponge, making sure not to leave any drops, as this can stain the fabric. It is important not to overdose.
5) Dry the textile in a tumble dryer or drying cabinet (40–70 degrees) for best effect (if washing instructions allow), but it is also possible to let the product dry itself for at least 24–48 hours.
When treating previously DWR* treated garments, tumble drying or drying cabinet is strongly recommended.
The heat is required for the fibers to divide and stand up properly, which contributes to the water-repellent function.
*) DWR= Durable Water Repellent, a water-repellent finish/impregnation that is applied industrially to the outer fabric.

Consumption: enough for about 5–6 garments, or 10–12 sq m depending on how the fabric absorbs.
Volume: 500 ml
Bottle and Spray Nozzle: The bottle is made of recyclable plastic (PET) and the spray nozzle is made of 100% recyclable plastic (sorted as plastic)
