Direct.Dry

The award winning PFAS-Free factory-applied DWR from Nikwax.

With the movement away from the use of PFAS in consumer products, outdoor clothing manufacturers are looking for a factory applied industrial DWR that can withstand the demands of outdoor consumers while eliminating persistent PFAS.

Nikwax has developed the solution with Direct.Dry, offering the additional reassurance that the DWR is easily renewable using trusted aftercare products which are available around the world.

Nikwax Direct.Dry is a high-performance, durable, PFAS-free factory-applied DWR for synthetic outdoor fabrics.

Direct.Dry achieves a extremely high rating of 95-100 on the AATCC 22 Spray Rating Test.

High wash durability, staying at a rating of 95-100 after five washes. After 20 washes it maintains a rating of 80.

Returns to 95-100 after being treated with Nikwax technical cleaners and waterproofers.
