High-quality Textil waterproofing with nanoCare

waterproof textiles and fibres is a special challenge. The fabrics must not lose their technical properties despite a protective coating. In addition, the waterproofing must also tolerate normal handling of the fabrics and not dissolve through use. This poses great hurdles for the development of a waterproofing for textile and fiber fabrics. NanoCare has succeeded in overcoming these hurdles and developing products that offer the right sealant for every type of fabric. Each of these products offers the same catalogue of outstanding benefits

Textil waterproofing

for your convertible
NanoCare textile impregnation is the first choice to protect and maintain high quality fabric roofs for convertibles. With this fiber coating a fabric roof becomes permanently tight, dirt-repellent and retains its color. The textile impregnation is also very durable. A freshening up at the start of the season and before the winter break is completely sufficient. The convertible roof is thus permanently protected and retains its function and colour throughout the season.

The Innovative Technology of nanoCare for waterproofing textiles

nanoCare works. The textiles to be protected are first thoroughly cleaned. Any dirt that is not removed is sealed by the textile impregnation. This makes cleaning unnecessarily difficult.

The NanoCare textile impregnation is applied with a sponge or with a sprayer. If possible, the impregnation solution can also be washed in. After drying and the specified exposure time, the fabrics are sustainably protected against penetrating oil or water.

The nano coating of the fibres also creates a micro-rough surface that keeps water and dirt out. This also gives textiles a self-cleaning surface. To clean them, you only need to wipe them with a damp cloth or rinse them with running water, for example a watering can.

However, please do not use steam or high-pressure cleaners. This would destroy the impregnation layer and make it ineffective. Trust in the advantages NanoCare offers you with its products. You will get a sustainable, durable and harmless protection for all types of fiber fabrics in your household.

Our services for textile and fibrous fabrics

NanoCare impregnation solutions keep dew, rain and splash water away from textile and fibrous fabrics. When moistened, the water immediately beads off the surface and does not penetrate into the fibres. The capillary effect of the fabric is stopped and the textiles always stay dry.
The NanoCare textile impregnation creates a micro-rough structure on the surface. Water drops, mould spores and sharp-edged dust particles are thus kept at a distance from the sensitive fibres. The next time it rains, the water takes the dirt particles with it, leaving nothing but a clean surface.
The coating of the fibres by the impregnation solution of NanoCare protects them permanently against contact with water. This reliably prevents mould or rot from spreading in the fabric.
Nanocare’s Textil waterproofing completely envelops the fabric. It not only protects the fibers and their colors from moisture and dirt. The nano coating also provides some protection against ultraviolet radiation. The fabrics fade less and retain their original colors longer. This prolongs their life and makes them permanently attractive.

These questions are frequently asked about Textil waterproofing.

SThe waterproofing is either washed in or applied. The wash-in method is particularly effective. If this is not possible, several layers of waterproofing agents must be applied, depending on the type of fibre.
The durability of waterproofing textile and fibre materials depends on their load. Mechanically lightly loaded products such as pavilions, sunshades or fabric roofs of convertibles need at most two refreshings per year. Mechanically heavily loaded products like sofas or armchairs need a more frequent refreshing of the textile impregnation.
The waterproofing agents of NanoCare do not contain PFC which is harmful to health and environment. It was successfully replaced by harmless silicon oxide – as finely ground sand. Nevertheless we recommend to wear a mouth and eye protection during the application. Thus you exclude any danger of an allergic reaction lastingly.
The protective film of NanoCare Sealing also has slightly protective properties against UV radiation. The colors of convertible roofs, pavilions or sunshades do not fade as fast due to the treatment with the waterproofing of textile and fiber materials. This additionally prolongs the life of the products.

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.
