Waterproofing spray for tents and equipment

When you buy a new tent, it is usually waterproofed by the manufacturer. To be able to go on more than a few camping trips dry, this protection must be renewed from time to time. Whether polyester, polyamide, cotton or cotton blend fabric - with the right waterproofing agent from our range you can easily refresh your tent again.

Our products do not require any further heat activation, are easy to use and an additional UV protection increases the life of your equipment.

How often should you renew the waterproofing of your tent?


No matter how good the waterproofing is, it will never last forever. Friction during transport, UV radiation and other environmental influences will inevitably wear away the protective layer at some point. Accordingly, the need for renewal always depends on how often you use your equipment.

You can test this by setting up your tent before a camping trip and splashing it with water. This works wonderfully with a garden hose, a watering can or a spray bottle. If the liquid beads up, the waterproofing is sufficient. If the fabric gets soaked instead, it's time to use your waterproofing spray for tents.

Basically, you should renew the waterproofing every two to three years, depending on use.

Properties of the different  waterproofing sprays for tents

With Tent Guard you waterproof synthetic fabrics made of polyester or polyamide (nylon) of tents and tarps / tarpaulins. Even old, silicone-coated outer tents become highly water-repellent again. Of course, you can also treat other equipment made of these materials such as bags or backpacks with it. Due to the additional UV protection, the individual fibers are protected from sunlight, degrade less quickly and remain tear-resistant longer.

For a more comfortable climate in the tent during the summer, fabrics made of cotton or cotton blends are often used. With Cotton Guard you can not only protect the material from rain, but also protect it from UV rays for longer usability. Cotton Guard is also excellent for waterproofing technical cotton and even Etaproof®.
