FAQS

APT

Advanced Polymer Technology (APT) is Grangers’ own blend of fluorocarbon-free polymers and emulsions. Developed by our in-house Research and Development team, it’s formulated to provide a highly breathable and durable water-repellent finish to all outdoor gear.

 

Bluesign®

Here at Grangers, we’re incredibly proud to be a Bluesign® system partner. We were the first aftercare brand in the world to receive this accreditation in 2007 and this guarantees that our products are cleaner, safer and, more importantly, environmentally and ethically responsible.

 

British Manufacturing

All of our formulations are manufactured in the UK.

 

Clothing Repel or Performance Repel Plus? 

Clothing Repel and Performance Repel Plus both offer effective, durable protection, replenishing your garment's DWR. Their difference, however, lies in their method of application. Clothing Repel is a simple, wash-in solution that is ideal for achieving complete protection. Performance Repel Plus is an easy-to-use, spray-on product that is excellent for targeting areas prone to abrasion (cuffs, collars, shoulders, etc.) and offering those places extra protection.

 

Cruelty-free

Here at Grangers, we’re big animal lovers so we have never tested on animals and all of our products have and always will be cruelty-free.

 

EOCA

We are proud members of the European Outdoor Conservative Association.

 

G-WAX or Waterproofing Wax?

G-WAX and Waterproofing Wax are both durable, reliable waxes that keep footwear dry and protected. G-WAX is a harder wax that is less pliable but will require fewer applications between wear. Waterproofing Wax is a supple wax that can be easily applied to boots, though more frequent coatings may be required between uses.

 

GORE-TEX

All of our products, unless otherwise stated, are compatible with GORE-TEX and other technologies.

 

Hard/Soft Water

You don’t need to worry about what water type you have when using Grangers. All our formulations perform the same regardless of hard or soft water.

 

Head Office

Our Head Office is located in Derbyshire, England. We love living in the heart of Derbyshire and getting outside into the Peak District.

           

Heat Treatment

All of Grangers' protection products are effective when air-dried. However, for optimum durability, we recommend applying a small amount of heat such as a tumble drier or hairdryer.
