Impregnating detergent for single-wash impregnation

Wash-in impregnations

Wash-in impregnations are used in the washing machine and are more time-saving in application than spray impregnations. They are best suited for 2.5 layer makes such as Gore Paclite®, Marmot Precip or Ceplex Active from VAUDE. The main use of wash-ins is for textiles without a hydrophilic lining or for textiles that have another type of water-loving fabric on the inside, as is the case with 2- or 3-layer laminates. A wash-in impregnation works both on the outside and on the inside.

Limited range of application

Wash-in impregnations offer the advantage of being easy to use, but they are not the answer to all questions. 2.5-layer garments have a lining on the inside that prevents impregnation from adhering. 2 and 3-layer textiles have a lining fabric on the inside that is designed to absorb its own moisture to release it to the outside. An impregnating agent cannot distinguish between the inner and outer fabric in the washing machine and impregnates both sides. Thus, more moisture remains in the jacket instead of being transported away. During physical activity, this can quickly become uncomfortable and those who are unsure of the type of clothing should take the precaution of using a spray-on version.

Impregnations are matched to the corresponding fabric, and if you want to impregnate properly, you should be aware of which material you are dealing with.Shoes made of leather require different components in the formulation than tents  made of cotton or clothing made of synthetic fibers.
