www.salshield.com Salshield® DWR is s Durable Water Repellent. It is a spray applied product formulated for use on outdoor clothing and equipment in order to rejuvenate its water resistance and water repellency.

Over time or through regular use the manufacturer applied water repelling treatment of synthetic jackets, trousers and other outdoor garments wears away.

This can be especially notable on areas of high wear and tear from carrying rucksacks, in areas around the shoulder and neck of rain jackets; or the base of the back through wearing bumbags on technical running apparel.

This periodically needs to be rejuventated with application of a replacement durable water repellent finish, in order to retain the hydrophobic character of the garment. Salshield DWR is a durable water repellent fabric spray designed for this application.

Salshield DWR is easy to apply, requiring use of the pump spray directly onto the fabric then sponging the product over the whole area with a common household sponge, then allowing the treated garment to hang dry for 30 mins.

The action and effect of Salshield DWR is almost immediate. The recoated fabric repels water to the point where water beads on the surface of the garment in very small droplets, and these droplets resist sticking to the clothing, causing the water to run off quickly and effectively.

Rapid water run off equates to minimal water absorption - so you are drier for longer.

Salshield DWR is a water borne low molecular weight polymer, so its penetration on synthetics is good, giving excellent depth of fibre coverage, and lasting protection.

Salshield DWR is suitable for most synthetic outdoor clothing used in backpacking, climbing, running/athletics, hiking, ski, mountaineering, sailing... anywhere in fact where protection from the elements is a must. We developed and quality tested it for ourselves on both waterproof and water resistant jackets for fell running.
