WATERPROOF FABRIC COATING GEL: AQUA BLOCK GEL

The aqua block gel, which is used to waterproof fabrics, prevents the liquid permeability of the product in rainy weather or activities that require water contact and protects the designs. Thus, both in outdoor activities and indoors, the designs maintain their vitality and longevity.

How Do Fabrics Become Waterproof?

With Cadence aqua block gel, many fabric items such as tablecloths, placemats, aprons, shoe wallets, umbrellas and tote bags that are frequently used at home can be made waterproof.

In addition, the fabrics of outdoor furniture can be coated with aqua gel to make them waterproof. Fabric products with transfer and dyeing design or clothes to be used in the rain can be made water repellent. For example, jackets or jeans can be dyed with fabric dyes and aqua gel can be applied on them after the design is made.

Aqua block gel is especially used on embossed fabric products such as suede, nubuck and towels.

For waterproofing frequently used fabrics:

1. After cleaning the surface of the fabric, apply the ready gel directly on the upper surface of the product with a brush or spatula.
2. The first coat should dry for 30-60 minutes.
3. The dried fabric is ironed in reverse satin setting after 24 hours.
4. For longevity, it should be hand washed or machine washed at 300 degrees.
