Nikwax has been pioneering environmental care since 1977 and will continue to do so into the future. All Nikwax products are water-based, PFC-free, non-flammable and have never used any harmful aerosols or fluorocarbons.

Our cleaning and waterproofing system is easy to use and can be used in a washing machine, no heat activation is needed and can be applied to wet gear.

Nikwax has always been about taking action and now we are taking the next step: We have developed the Nikwax Sustainability Roadmap 2025. The roadmap comprises more than 20 projects with clear and specific goals to achieve by 2025. It links in with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and focuses on 6 key areas to protect people and the planet.

Clean Chemistry: Nikwax aftercare products are water-based, PFC and solvent-free and we have never used aerosols.

Conservation: We partner with conservation organisations to help conserve the natural world we love. We are also active on a local level.

Circularity: Nikwax aftercare products enhance the performance and extend the usable life of outdoor clothing, footwear and gear.

Climate Action: Our operational emissions have been offset since launch and we have developed a climate action plan to do more.

Ethical and Fair: We are a values-oriented organisation and believe in treating the people we work with fairly and equally.

Experts & Partners: We believe in sharing our knowledge and expertise and learning from others because together we achieve more.
