Solapel™ is our PFC-free durable water repellent technology. It can maintain 70% efficiency even after 120 washes, equivalent to 24 hours of continuous washing.
Solapel™ minimizes contamination of chemicals into the environment by maintaining most DWR chemicals on the textile after laundering.
The main purpose of a DWR treatment is to provide higher surface tension for the fabric, so the falling water droplets do not stay on the fabrics’ surface, but fall off instead.
Solapel™ is an excellent water repellent collection because it can provide a high contact angle and surface tension for a fabric’s surface.
Solapel™’s water repellency performs effectively even after 120 times washing, which equals 24 hours of continuous laundering.
Solapel™ is highly versatile because its superior washing durability allows the technology to be applied not only to outdoor wear but also to everyday clothing.
Solapel™ minimizes the contamination of fluorocarbons into the environment by keeping most DWR chemicals on the cloth after laundering. The longer it works, the longer you can wear it!
Solapel™ is soft to the touch and breathable, while providing the ultimate protection from water.
Solapel™’s water repellency after 5000 cycles in abrasion resistant testing remains effective, 70% at the start and 70% after 50 washes.
