Hello dear Dreadbag friends,
We have received a lot of inquiries about how exactly and above all what you can use to make your dreadbag water-repellent and waterproof. We tested eight impregnation agents. The following eco / bio (biological) impregnation sprays from Impregno Textile, Fibertec Green Guard Spray on or Swix Sport are recommended by us. The impregnation agents are 100% eco / bio (biological) and therefore not or less harmful to nature and people. All of these waterproofing sprays are organic, fluorine free and PFC free. Who wants to leave chemistry on their hair (dreadlocks), skin and on their dreadbag? For this reason also the eco / bio (biological) variant. That’s better for people and nature! 😉
For your information: Canvas (thick fabric) and dreadbags with inner lining can be impregnated, unfortunately all others are not suitable! You can get Imprego Texil, Fibertec Green Guard or Swix Sport Spray on the Internet - see links or, of course, find it via Google search ...

IMPREGNO textile
is a fluorine-free Hydrophobic agent for application to textiles. Also ideal for your outdoor gear. Protect your textiles and high-tech fabrics permanently from moisture and dirt. Breathability and membrane function are retained. This special impregnation renews the water-repellent impregnation layer long-lasting and offers protection against new contamination. Water simply drips off and does not penetrate the tissue. This significantly prolongs the life of your textiles. The impregnation has a high abrasion resistance. The product is insensitive to weak acids.
Spray, let it work and the impregnation is done - no dryer required! IMPREGNO ... the latest generation of environmentally friendly impregnating agents.

- does not change the handle, the breathing activity or the color of the material
- dissolved in water
- is biodegradable; no persistent residues are formed
- Clothes dryer or iron for activation of the impregnation
- A drug based on polyurethane dendrimers: these crosslink on the surface of the fabric and form a water-repellent surface

Fibertec Green Guard Spray-On 500 ml
Impregnation - It works!
We ourselves and a lot of customers have already used it and practice has proven that it works perfectly on a natural eco / organic basis. All dreadbags (dreadlocks hats) neither lose their shape nor their color. So everything is save for Dreadbag, people & nature! 🙂
Our tip - less is more!
A bottle of Impregno Textil (500 ml), Fibertec Green Guard or Swix Sport lasts for about 1-2 years (15 square meters) - Of course, this depends on the regularity of use - We recommend reading the instructions and replacing the dreadbag approx. Every 2 months ( Dreadlocks hat) to be re-impregnated so that it remains waterproof in the long term. You can wash the dreadbag again at any time by hand (better) or in the washing machine at a maximum of 30 ° (gentle program - in a pillowcase) to remove the impregnation protection. Only the outer surface of the dreadbag is impregnated (1-2 passes), as that is completely sufficient - everything else is exaggerated - only costs your money, harms people and nature - the motto is: "Less is more!"
Caution - despite eco / bio!
Please bear in mind that inhaling the impregnation spray, whether organic or not, can be harmful to the lungs, so please only impregnate outdoors or with good ventilation! Spray only for a few seconds, impregnate at a safe distance and allow to ventilate well. Please keep away from children - please read the instructions carefully! 😉
PFC-free impregnation.
For the sake of the environment.
Why PFC-free is good for people and nature.
What is PFC?
PFC are poorly degradable compounds made of fluorine and hydrocarbon. They even appear in the liver of Arctic polar bears because the substances accumulate through the food chain. PFC are not harmless for humans: recent studies suspect a connection between PFC and the increased growth of tumors, reduced fertility, immune disorders, thyroid disorders and obesity.
PFC is an abbreviation for per- and polyfluorinated chemicals. This group of substances comprises more than 800 substances.
The best known representatives are perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
PFCs do not occur naturally, but have an anthropogenic origin. Chemically speaking, PFCs consist of carbon chains of various lengths, in which the hydrogen atoms are completely (perfluorinated) or partially (polyfluorinated) replaced by fluorine atoms. Polyfluorinated chemicals can be broken down into perfluorinated substances and are therefore widely referred to as precursors.
The use of two extremely durable PFC's (PFOS and PFOA) is restricted in the EU as well as in Switzerland. However, other PFCs, which also pose health and environmental risks, are still in use. It is scary that PFCs have even been found in the blood of newborns.
How do PFCs get into the environment?
PFCs can be released into the environment during their manufacture and in the manufacture of products containing PFC. When using and disposing of these products, PFCs can also be released later in the life cycle.
Neither biotic processes (bacteria) nor abiotic processes (water, air, light) can contribute to the breakdown of the PFC. This means that they cannot be dismantled in sewage treatment plants. Rather, additional perfluorinated chemicals are created in sewage treatment plants through various conversion processes from the degradable precursor compounds (polyfluorinated chemicals). Water-soluble PFCs are distributed globally across rivers and seas. These compounds are even found in remote areas such as the Arctic and the animals living there.
Other PFCs accumulate in the sewage sludge. If this sewage sludge is used as a soil improver in agriculture, plants can absorb the PFC from the contaminated soil or the chemicals can seep into the groundwater.
Volatile PFCs, for example impregnation sprays, are distributed into the atmosphere via air currents. PFCs can also adsorb on particles and thus be transported over long distances in the air. Precipitation events in turn get PFC into soil and surface water.
Why are PFC so worrying for the environment?
PFC consist of carbon chains of various lengths, in which the hydrogen atoms are completely (perfluorinated) or partially (polyfluorinated) replaced by fluorine atoms. This very stable bond between carbon and fluorine can only be released with very high energy consumption.
Once PFCs are released into the environment, they remain there for a very long time. Some PFCs, especially PFCs with a long carbon chain, also accumulate in the organism and along the food chain. PFCs with a short carbon chain accumulate less in the organism, but are all the more mobile and can therefore contaminate groundwater and drinking water faster. Some PFCs are also known to be toxic.
Are PFCs dangerous to humans?
PFCs are mainly ingested through food or contaminated drinking water. Increased concentrations of PFC in indoor air, for example through carpets treated with PFC, also contribute to PFC levels in the blood. In humans, PFCs such as PFOS bind to proteins in the blood, liver and kidney. The transmission of PFC from mother to child during pregnancy and lactation and the slow elimination of long-chain PFC from the human body are particularly critical.
