Ballistol Impregnation spray

Ballistol is world famous for its universal products. Ballistol Impregnation Spray can also be used universally for shoes, jackets, gloves, backpacks, tents, sails, convertible roofs and much more. Ballistol Impregnation Spray makes surfaces water-repellent, and the waterproofing layer remains invisible and protects against moisture, UV radiation and dirt. The treated surfaces stay clean significantly longer after spraying with your Ballistol Impregnation Spray and look much better.

Suitable for bicycle covers, bicycle garages, covers and other outdoor clothing, shoes and boots, tents, blankets, luggage and much more for approx. 2-3 m² material coverage

Suitable for outdoor clothing and covers, shoes and boots, tents, blankets, luggage and much more for approx. 12 m² of material coverage

This remarkable spray is designed to waterproof and protect virtually any fabric, especially polyester, cotton, and nylon. It also provides UV protection to reduce fading of materials.

Key features

- 500ml
- Raindrops simply bead up and run off the fabric surface
- Forms an invisible barrier and protects against water, dirt oil
- UV inhibitors provide protection from the sun's harmful rays
- Reapply every 6 months

More environmentally friendly than silicon-based products and provides better long-term protection. Read more about maintaining and caring for your bike cover .

Use waterproofing spray correctly

Check material compatibility: Check if the surface is suitable for a waterproofing spray. For example, some manufacturers recommend using wax or other products for colored smooth leather. Manufacturer information is also often different for artificial leather and suede. It is best to use waterproofing spray outdoors or with a window open.

With these simple instructions you can create a perfect impregnation:

1. Clean the respective surface as recommended by the manufacturer, then let it dry.
2. Shake the can vigorously – about a minute.
3. Keep a distance of approximately 20 to 30 cm.
4. Start spraying next to the surface . With spray cans, it is inevitable that a few drops will occasionally be squeezed out at the beginning of the spraying process and will not be completely atomized. If these drops then land on sensitive surfaces such as suede, a stain will result. Spray outside first, then direct the fine spray mist towards the desired surface without letting it drop. If you still produce drops, remove them immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel. Just apply the cloth without rubbing. It is just meant to stink.
5. Apply the fine spray mist evenly over the surface in one go, spraying it thinly all over. Do not spray specifically or repeatedly on one area.
6. Let the surface dry for at least 45 minutes at room temperature.

Depending on the stress and time required, a repeat application may be recommended. For example, if you have first thoroughly cleaned your awning or car cover and you want the impregnation to last a very long time, you can repeat the process once it has dried completely.

Coverage of Ballistol waterproofing spray For 1 m² you need approx. 200 ml of waterproofing spray. The large 500 ml can is therefore sufficient for approx. 2.5 m².

Be careful with special waterproofing sprays

The ingredients are crucial. Some waterproofing sprays from discount stores or pharmacies do not use universally applicable ingredients. In addition, the information about what the spray is not suitable for can sometimes only be found in small print on the can. So if you have stains, for example on a synthetic leather shoe, it is too late.

How does Ballistol waterproofing spray work?

Ballistol universal impregnation covers every fiber of the fabric and forms an invisible, breathable, UV and temperature-stable protective layer. Water droplets and dirt can no longer stick. Pluvonin waterproofing spray If you were looking for "Pluvonin": you found it! The product name Pluvonin has no longer been used since 2022 and is no longer printed on the labels. But the product has not changed. "Pluvonin from Ballistol" is now "Ballistol waterproofing spray".

Why is Ballistol the best waterproofing spray?

Above all, the high material compatibility and the long-lasting impregnation effect combined with the very fast drying time make Ballistol impregnation spray the preferred product. Another advantage of the fast drying is that the impregnated items are ready for use again much faster than with other sprays.

The universal impregnation impresses with the latest technology without the use of nanoparticles. Dirt from coffee, tea, red wine, cola, etc. simply rolls off.

Clothes, shoes, bags, tents, convertible tops and anything else exposed to the weather outdoors are covered in a water-repellent coating and remain protected by being impregnated with the water-repellent spray.

It is suitable for all materials such as: Leather, artificial leather and suede, Textiles and natural fibers, Synthetic fibers such as polyester and functional fabrics such as Goretex or other brands

Free from PFAS

Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of chemical compounds found in many everyday products and are often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their long-lasting properties. Their resistance to degradation in the environment and in the human body has led to increasing concerns about their potential impact on health and the ecosystem. Ballistol waterproofing spray avoids the use of PFAS entirely.

Ingredients: Alcohol or water as carrier In addition to the propellant in a spray, an impregnation agent primarily consists of the active ingredient and the carrier. The active ingredient particles are distributed in this substance. The active ingredient can therefore only surround the fiber in a protective way if the carrier is absorbed into the fabric together with the active ingredient. Water as a carrier is at a disadvantage compared to a technical alcohol. Water has a high surface tension and is therefore much more difficult to absorb than alcohol. This effect is particularly severe in functional fabrics that are produced to be particularly water-repellent. Due to its low surface tension, the alcohol simply takes the active ingredient into the fabric and then evaporates. Therefore, an impregnation spray with an alcohol carrier can also be easily used on dry textiles, and there is no need for follow-up treatments. Ballistol impregnation spray therefore has a carrier based on alcohol.
