Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
Tx Direct Spray-On is spray-on waterproofing for wet weather
clothing. TX Direct Spray-On adds durable water repellency and
revives breathability.
Why breathability depends upon water repellency...
--------------------------------------------------
Breathable waterproof garments are most likely to get sweaty and
wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer
fabric absorbs water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its
breathability. Therefore, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) on
the outer fabric of your jacket must be maintained to ensure
comfort. It will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with
Nikwax TX.Direct®.

Waterproof clothing needs to be breathable...
---------------------------------------------
When we work hard, we sweat. The evaporation of sweat cools us
down and keeps us comfortable. But, when it rains we want to
avoid getting wet, so we put on waterproof outerwear to keep us
dry. The waterproof fabric must allow moisture vapour to pass
through it, or ‘breathe’; otherwise our sweat cannot evaporate,
causing us to overheat and get wet from condensation.
Additionally, if the outer fabric of your garment absorbs water
and ‘wets out’ its breathability will be reduced, causing you to
feel clammy and wet.
Nikwax TX.Direct® adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR), which
prevents water absorption, whilst maintaining breathability,
keeping you dry and comfortable.
Breathable, waterproof clothing is for active, outdoor people...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone who is active outside in damp or wet conditions will
benefit from breathable waterproof clothing. Whether you’re a
aineer, cyclist, dog walker, or you work outside as a farmer
or surveyor, you will need good raingear.
Use Nikwax TX.Direct® when your raingear soaks up water...
----------------------------------------------------------
Your raingear could be soaking up water just because it is
dirty. First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Tech Wash®, and if it
is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water
Repellency (DWR) will be revitalised just from cleaning. But,
once the garment has been thoroughly worn, you will need to add
DWR, using Nikwax TX.Direct®, after cleaning first with Nikwax
Tech Wash®.

Breathable raingear with wicking linings need Nikwax TX.Direct®
Spray-On to maintain performance...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Alternative waterproofing products are often solvent-based
aerosols; alternatively, they may be water-based and use
fluorocarbons. Aerosol products are flammable. Fluorocarbons pose
a potential risk to the environment and to the long-term
of the consumer. Nikwax TX.Direct® Spray-On is a safe product to
use on breathable waterproof items with wicking linings, or those
that can’t be machine washed. It is WaterBased, non-flammable,
contains no volatile compounds (VOCs) and is fluorocarbon
free. Nikwax TX.Direct® Spray-On can be applied to the outer face
fabric of waterproof clothing, providing Durable Water Repellency
(DWR) without compromising internal wicking properties. It has
been specifically designed and optimised for breathable
waterproof clothing, providing DWR whilst maintaining
breathability. Nikwax TX.Direct® requires no heat to develop its
DWR, so it is not necessary to use a tumble drier for best
results. As garments with taped seams get older the tape adhesion
weakens, becoming more fragile and susceptible to heat, so it is
best to avoid tumble drying.
If your raingear doesn’t have a wicking lining, use Nikwax
TX.Direct® Wash-In...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Using the right waterproofing product is important. Nikwax
TX.Direct® Spray-On is fantastic for raingear with wicking
linings, as it provides Durable Water Repellency (DWR) without
impairing wicking properties. However, if wicking linings aren’t
present, using Nikwax TX.Direct® Wash-In ensures you won’t miss
any areas (complete DWR coverage!) and it’s easy to apply in a
washing machine.

How Nikwax TX.Direct® Spray-On protects...
------------------------------------------
Nikwax TX.Direct® Spray-On is easy and quick to apply, and its
highly Durable Water Repellency (DWR) develops on air drying. The
need for tumble drying is removed, this saves energy and protects
more vulnerable, older, garments from heat. Nikwax TX.Direct®
Spray-On has been specifically designed and optimised for
breathable waterproof garments; it leaves a flexible water
repellent on individual fibres allowing moisture vapour
to pass through, maintaining breathability. The spray-on
application allows for direct of areas which require it
most (e.g. elbows and seams on jackets) and will not compromise
the properties of internal wicking liners.
Like all Nikwax products, TX.Direct® is safe to use...
------------------------------------------------------
Nikwax takes great care to minimise the effect of Nikwax
products on the environment and on you, the consumer. Nikwax
waterproofing products are WaterBased, non-aerosol,
non-flammable, non-hazardous and environmentally friendly. They
contain no harmful solvents or volatile compounds (VOCs),
and are completely free of fluorocarbons (which have been shown
to be persistent in the environment and have been associated with
serious issues).
