PFC and its by-products are no longer allowed in the manufacture of impregnating solutions. The market for waterproofing agents was hit hard by this. Through intensive research work nanoCare was able to replace the fluorine compounds by silicon oxide. Furthermore, the other technical properties of the nanoCare impregnation solution have been greatly improved.
A waterproofing is used to protect an absorbent, fine capillary fabric against water penetration. Typical applications for waterproofingen are tents, sails, awnings, gazebos, garden umbrellas and especially the fabric roofs of convertibles. As these products are mainly cared for and maintained by the private users themselves, health safety is of crucial importance. In an industrial context, a health hazard for the users can be excluded with the help of suitable rooms, work equipment and prescribed protective clothing. This possibility exists only to a very limited extent in the case of agents for end users. Therefore, a waterproofing agents for private users must be as harmless to health as possible. An agent that is PFC-free is a suitable approach to this.

PFC-free waterproofing agents offers excellent performance for sealing textile fabrics while eliminating any health hazards. Apart from allergic reactions, the silicon-based waterproofing agents is completely harmless to health, but highly effective. In addition, the silicon-based waterproofing agents is ecologically harmless. nanoCare was able to significantly improve the performance compared to the old formulas. The sealants are more durable and hold up even under heavy use. This means that the convertible roof can be folded up several times and stored in the roof box – the waterproofing remains intact.

nanoCare waterproofing agents is suitable for sealing all textile fabrics. It does not fade and does not attack any kind of fibres. Therefore it is equally suitable for cotton as for vinyl or nylon fabrics. The range of its application is correspondingly high: sunshades, sun sails, tents, pavilions and fabric roofs of convertibles can be sustainably sealed by nanoCare in constant quality for many weeks.

Tests in the laboratory have shown that the PFC-freie waterproofing adheres longer to textile surfaces.
As it turns out, the performance of the silicon-based waterproofing agentss is vastly superior to the old PFC-containing agents.
A waterproofing agents, which is PFC-free, can be used to a large extent without additional measures. The new product no longer poses a long-term, direct health risk.
A tight convertible fabric roof without harming the environment is a beautiful thing. Today’s pleasure does not have to be at the expense of tomorrow’s generations – on the contrary.
PFC means “perfluorocarbon”, so they are compounds of fluorine and carbon. The agent was discovered by accident in 1953 and was first produced as a cleaning agent. Later it became a main ingredient of fire extinguishing foams, used in chrome plating and as an impregnating agent.
It came under criticism when it was found to be harmful to health. To make matters worse, PFC-containing waterproofing agents are contaminated with the byproducts PFOS and PFOA. These by-products are also considered extremely harmful to health and their use, especially in consumer products, is now banned by law.
nanoCare has succeeded in replacing the PFC with the help of simple silicon compounds, i.e. quartz sand. The result is a product that is completely harmless to health – which at the same time can offer improved performance compared to the old, PFC-containing agents.

Waterproofing our garden furniture was a task for our children. It is very reassuring that nothing can happen to them anymore due to the new mixture.
After the treatment of our parasol, the fabric looked like new. Now also nothing drips through and everything underneath stays dry.
The NanoCare impregnation for textiles was the last rescue for my convertible fabric roof from my old Escort. I can now enjoy the summer again and prepare my car for the restoration next winter.
