"NEOSEED NR-8844", which has more durable water repellency than fluorine-based (C6) water repellents, is a fluorine-free water repellent that restores water repellency to fabrics that have been exposed to the elements by "natural drying".
Outdoor wear, for example, is exposed to all kinds of weather and requires fabric properties that can withstand vigorous movement. NR-8844 is not only water repellent, but also features excellent slip resistance and a soft handling texture, providing a comfortable fit. In addition, we will reduce the environmental impact with bluesign^® certified products.

Water repellency that can be demonstrated even in harsh environments

A major feature of “NEOSEED NR-8844” is its excellent water repellency after hang drying (natural drying). The fact that the water-repellent function is maintained without applying heat to the fabric after water-repellent treatment means that even if the wear gets caught in the rain, it will be water-repellent again when it dries.
This is a new function that overturns the common sense of water repellents.

Here is a test video of the Bundesmann rain tester.
The Bundesmann rainfall test is an evaluation method to verify the water repellency by letting rain fall artificially, and it is said to be a test under conditions close to actual wear.
There are only a handful of fluorine-free water repellents that pass this test.

Test result

Durable water repellency by laundry wash

The excellent water repellency of C6 or higher is clear from the graph.

Slip resistance

It is also ideal for processing thin fabrics where the seams tend to shift, preventing seams from slipping. Because it can withstand intense movement, it is ideal for processing sportswear and outdoor wear.
