Ballistol Impregnating Spray

Ballistol Impregnating Spray from Ballistol, Accessories, bicycle covers for outdoor storage that impregnates bicycle covers, jackets and bags and makes them water-repellent when your city bike, cargo bike or e-bike is parked in the yard or at the station.

Therefore this cover is a good choice

• Durable water repellency meaning less maintenance for your bike cover and outdoor clothing.
• Reduced fading so colors on bags and convertible tops last longer thanks to UV inhibitors.
• Cleaner surfaces so dirt and coffee can roll off instead of penetrating the fibers.
• Quick drying so you can use the bike again shortly after impregnation.
• Universal material compatibility so you can use the spray on polyester, cotton, nylon and many functional fabrics.

Fit and dimensions

This spray comes in a 200 ml can and is intended for spot and area impregnation of textiles and covers; one 200 ml can typically covers small areas and reaches approximately 1.5 m² at the recommended application, so it is suitable for refreshing smaller bike covers or jackets rather than large tents.

Features and materials

Ballistol impregnating spray uses alcohol as a carrier, is PFAS-free and works without nanoparticles. The product forms an invisible, breathable protective layer that repels water, dirt and provides UV protection. Recommended for materials such as polyester, cotton, nylon, leather, faux leather, suede and functional membranes like Goretex.

Use and storage

Apply preferably outdoors or in a well-ventilated room and test first on an inconspicuous spot on delicate materials. Clean and dry the surface, shake the can well, hold a distance of 20-30 cm and spray evenly in a thin fine mist. Let items dry for at least 45 minutes before use. Re-treat typically every six months with frequent outdoor use. A realistic scenario: impregnate your bike garage or bike cover before winter when the cargo bike is in the carport, or spray the cover on your commuter bike before it is parked at the station so rain and traffic dust have a harder time penetrating.
