Nikwax Duo Pack-Tech Wash TX.Direct
Tech Wash removes dirt and detergent particles. In addition, the garment's water-repellent properties are revived and breathability is restored. This technical detergent can be used on all waterproof textiles, such as clothing with membranes Gore-Tex, Sympatex, Entrant and the like.Tech Wash can also be used to clean equipment such as waterproof bags, backpacks and synthetic sleeping bags.
Tech Wash by Nikwax is very easy to use and can be used in a normal washing machine. You can also use Tech Wash to wash garments or equipment that require hand washing. Maintenance tips for waterproof garments: wash with Tech Wash every time you wash the garment and always before impregnation.
Wash with Tech Wash before impregnating with TX Direct. The garment does not need to be dry before being impregnated with TX Direct, when it is clean you can simply put on a new machine: then fill the TX Direct in the detergent compartment (see the back of the bottle). The only thing you have to make sure is that what you are going to impregnate is clean and that residues are removed from the detergent compartment before you start a new wash.
TX Direct improves equipment performance to keep you warm and dry for longer. The impregnation rebuilds the water-repellent finish in all waterproof and breathable laminates, membranes and outer fabric. TX Direct also takes care of the garment's ventilation properties. The impregnation is water-based, so you don't need to use a dryer (heat) to activate it!
Most waterproof casual clothing has a water-repellent outer layer, Durable Water Repellent coating, or DWR. It is this coating that causes the water to form drops on the equipment. When functioning properly, it allows moisture to escape, while preventing water from entering.
Dirt, body fat and other contaminants can over time reduce the performance of the DWR coating, making the gear more water absorbent. If it is then washed with normal household detergents, particles that attract water and can weaken the water-repellent properties will be left behind. When the DWR coating fails, the fabric will absorb water. As a result, breathability decreases, condensation does not escape, and you get wet from the inside.
The DWR coating and breathability of waterproof garments, footwear and equipment can be restored by washing and impregnating with Nikwax's award-winning finishing products. Nikwax's range is water-based and completely free of fluorocarbons. Nikwax therefore uses no harmful solvents or propellants.
