What is NanoPel?
NanoPel is a premium, PFAS-free liquid and stain repellent designed to protect fabric and leather. It creates an invisible, breathable barrier that makes liquids slide off instead of getting absorbed.
How do I apply NanoPel?
1. Make sure the surface is clean and dry.
2. Spray evenly from about 15 cm away. Apply a second round of coating after 30min.
3. Let thin fabric dry for 2 hours and thick fabric for 24 hours before use.
How long does the protection last?
NanoPel provides 6–12 months of water and stain repellency depending on how frequently the item is used or if washed. High-traffic items like sofas may benefit from reapplication more frequently.
Is NanoPel PFAS-free?
Yes. NanoPel contains no PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl substances), no PFOA, no PFOS, and no forever chemicals of any kind. It is also free from microplastics.
Will NanoPel change the color or feel of my fabric?
No. NanoPel dries completely clear and does not alter the appearance, texture, breathability, or softness of any fabric or leather surface.
What surfaces can I use NanoPel on?
NanoPel Water Repellent works on a wide range of materials, including Fabric (furniture, clothes) and Leather (bags, jackets).
Is NanoPel safe for children and pets?
Yes. Once dry, NanoPel is completely safe for children and pets. The formula contains no PFAS, PFOA, PFOS or microplastics. It is odorless after drying.
How much furniture can the 650ml bottle treat?
Application may vary depending on the fabric density but in all cases, the following is a general rule:
650 ml bottle: Covers a medium to small size 3 seater sofa. That includes the seats, arm rests and base.
4 L gallon: Perfect for full house treatment, large living areas, furniture sets or large carpets.
Do I need to reapply after washing?
Yes. Washing or deep cleaning will remove the protective layer. Reapply NanoPel Water Repellent after washing for continued protection.
My sofa still absorbed a bit of water when tested, although most slid off. Is that normal?
No. NanoPel makes fabrics liquid-repellent. Liquids should slide off or sit still on the treated surface to give you time to blot. A small amount can wick in if a pressure is applied, spraying was not even, or the coating hasn’t fully cured yet.
How to fix it
- Wait & retest: If you applied today, allow 24 hours, then drip a teaspoon of water and watch.
- Top-up coat (targeted): if water got absorbed, dry up the wet area and then lightly re-spray areas that absorbed water. Spray 15 cm away from the surface until fibers look evenly damp (not dripping).
- Don’t forget the edges: Treat corners of removable cushions.
Care going forward: Blot spills (don’t rub), and reapply every 6–12 months or after deep cleaning.
What makes NanoPel different from other repellents?
Most repellents use harmful PFAS chemicals. NanoPel is PFAS-free, family-safe, and odorless — without compromising on performance.
