EMPLOYEE OWNED IN 2022

NIKWAX BECAME AN EMPLOYEE OWNED TRUST (EOT).

“By passing on the business to the employees, I feel that I am not only looking after them, but also looking after the interests of our loyal customers. So many companies end up being aggressively taken over and broken up, and lose their soul. This is our best shot at avoiding that and continuing the guiding principles.”

-Nick Brown, Founder

DWR

DURABLE WATER REPELLENCY

HELPFUL REPELLENT

Most every type of waterproof/breathable outdoor gear on the market comes with a factory-applied DWR finish. This DWR is what makes the water bead up on the outside of jackets, boots, and tents. When working properly, it prevents water from soaking into the surface fabric of an item. However, when it fails, it can cause the wearer to get wet and/or clammy and cold.

Even items with waterproof membranes, like GORE-TEX® , need DWR to function properly. Without it, water soaks into the fabric, which prevents water vapor (sweat) from escaping the garment, leaving the wearer wet from within.

DWR WORKING

DWR FAILING

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION

What causes DWR to fail? The first could be that the item is dirty. Dirt, oil, smoke, and other crud attract water to fabrics, causing them to absorb, instead of repel. Additionally, DWRs are DURABLE, not permanent, and over time they are abraded away by use.

Keep your waterproof items in top shape by regularly cleaning and re-waterproofing them with Nikwax.

CAPABLE CLEANING

Cleaning your wet weather gear is important! And what you use to clean it is mission critical. Household detergents leave behind residues that attract water. This can reduce waterproof performance. Be sure to use technical cleaners for your waterproof clothing to ensure the best performance possible.
