HYDRAFAB - Durable Water Repellent Finish


    From medical to vehicles, and now textiles and clothes, nanotechnology, invisible to the human eye, is now everywhere around us. HYDRAFAB is a result of one once such wonders of nanotechnology. It’s a semi-permanent invisible super-hydrophobic, the self-clean nano-finishing chemical that protects cloth, upholstery, curtains, and carpets from dust, stains, etc.This is unique chemistry that bonds into the fiber and, as a result, the dirt can not adhere to the threads of the textile, the liquid cannot be absorbed by the fibers.Our nano formula is based on safe and eco-friendly water-based chemistry .HYDRAFAB is also available as a C6 Chemistry Finish that can be used in Padding Mangle or Exhaust by heat curing.

HYDRAFAB is a Water Repellent Nano Coating for textile

HYDRAFAB is the perfect solution for clothing made from wool, silk, synthetic materials, etc. The color, the breath-ability, and the hands feel of the fabric remain unchanged. It can be applied to any garment, from the finest silk to the hard-wearing cotton to skirts, tops, skirts, dresses, trousers, tracksuits, denim, bicycle clothing, adventure shoes, and footwear.

WHY HYDRAFAB WATER REPELLENT ?

• Let's face it, whether it's in hotels, hospitals, or homes, there's always a risk of unintentional spillage of tea, coffee or other beverages, which not only makes our costly textiles/dresses look dirty but also damages our image, which also spoils our mood.

• During the production of Jewelry Ornaments, when cutting precious stones such as Diamond, Gold, and others, their tiny fragments cling to the operator's fabric, design uniform due to the sticky nature of our Garments. We need to wash these clothes every time to recover the fine gold, the diamond particles. But more than 35% of these large particles could not be retrieved when washing them.

Technical and application notes

HydraFab is offered as two water-based lines on the technical documentation: Type 1 — Water Based Air Cure and Type 2 — Water Based Heat Cure. Air cure is applied in the field or at finishers with about 24 hour room temperature cure (spray or dip per TDS); wash durability on the published characteristics summary is lower than the heat-cure line (see test table: Type 1 wash cycles versus Type 2). Heat cure is applied in mill or manufacturing settings with heat curing (for example padding mangle or exhaust per TDS) and is aimed at laundered goods that need higher wash-cycle performance as documented—not as a retail take-home product. Fiber blend, dye chemistry, and prior finishes affect repellency on both lines. Always run a controlled trial and confirm hand feel before bulk production, and request the TDS that matches the line you intend to use.

For families, preventive coating is about fewer severe liquid incidents and easier response when children spill drinks: blot first, then clean per fabric care guidance. That is a different goal from booking reactive on site upholstery cleaning after heavy soiling. HydraFab is positioned as professional protection, not a substitute for every deep clean a home may still need over years of use.

Frequently asked questions

HydraFab is a preventive coating applied to fabric, not a retail stain remover. It helps protect fibers and supports easier cleaning with water when the fabric is contaminated, per technical documentation. Set in stains may still need appropriate cleaning methods.

The product is documented to protect fabrics from liquids and stains and to address behaviors such as wine spills and coffee stains. Juice behaves as a liquid spill. Hydrophobic behavior helps liquids bead for blotting. Results depend on fabric, application, and how quickly the spill is addressed.

Air cure (Type 1) is applied by professional spray or dip with room temperature cure (about 24 hours before normal use for the V1 Air Cure line, per TDS). It fits fixed upholstery, curtains, and applications where the priority is not maximum repeated home laundering performance. Heat cure (Type 2) is applied in textile mill or manufacturing processes with heat curing (for example padding mangle or exhaust per TDS). It is specified where higher wash-cycle durability is required as shown on the product characteristics table—not sold as a consumer retail spray. Request the correct technical sheet for the line you need.

For Air cure (Type 1) on typical upholstered pieces, allow about 24 hours of room temperature cure after professional application, as stated in the HydraFab V1 Air Cure technical data. Heat-cure fabrics follow mill cure schedules in the heat-cure TDS.

The datasheet states no change to colour and maintained breathability when the product is applied as specified.

Air cure (Type 1): The published characteristics table lists wash performance up to 5 cycles under the stated test conditions. This line is not positioned as the high-laundry-endurance option for apparel that will see many machine washes—use heat cure (Type 2) from the mill for that requirement, subject to TDS. For non-wearables such as fixed upholstery, the datasheet cites typical duration ranges that are fabric and use dependent.

Heat cure (Type 2): Applied during manufacturing; the same characteristics table documents Type 2 wash testing at 20 and 40 HL cycles. Channel is mill and manufacturing supply—not B2C retail packaging.

No. Stain removers sold for consumers are typically cleaning chemistry for removal. HydraFab is a professional nano finish applied to the textile, not a bottle meant to dissolve marks after the fact.

Air cure (Type 1) application is by professional spray or dip for finish quality; the datasheet recommends spray for optimum results on suitable pieces. ANTLAB in India offers trained application for furniture. Heat cure (Type 2) is for mills and manufacturing lines with the right equipment—not a home DIY product. Export buyers work with authorized partners.

Yes. HydraFab reduces severity and frequency of many incidents but does not eliminate all maintenance or deep cleaning needs for every household.
