What Is Fabric Waxing and Fabric Proofing?

Fabric waxing and fabric proofing are processes used to apply a protective wax coating to textiles, creating a hydrophobic barrier that repels moisture while preserving flexibility and breathability. Kerax fabric wax blends melt smoothly, bond evenly to fibres, and offer long-lasting weatherproof performance.

Our waxes are suitable for:

  • Canvas and cotton wax fabric

  • Outdoor equipment including tents, awnings, and tarpaulins

  • Workwear and industrial uniforms

  • Jackets, bags, and heritage-style outerwear

  • Marine, agricultural, and technical textiles

Kerax formulations guarantee consistent coverage and reliable fabric protection.
