Ballistol Impregnation Spray

Ballistol Impregnation 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.

Why this cover is a good choice

• Long-lasting water repellency means less maintenance for your bicycle 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 soon 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 is sufficient for about 1.5 m² with recommended application, so it is suitable for refreshing smaller bicycle covers or jackets rather than entire large tents.

Features and materials

Ballistol impregnation 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 such as Goretex.

Use and storage

Apply preferably outdoors or in a well-ventilated room and first test on a hidden area of 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 the items dry for at least 45 minutes before use. Reapply typically every six months with frequent outdoor use. A realistic scenario: impregnate your bicycle garage or bicycle cover before winter when the cargo bike stands 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.
