What 303 Products 16 Oz. Trigger Spray Outdoor is made of, ingredients and materials
303 Products' fabric guard is a proprietary spray-applied coating formulated to repel water and stains from outdoor textiles. The exact chemical composition is not publicly disclosed, which means the presence, absence, or concentration of fluorinated compounds, silicones, solvents, or other active ingredients cannot be independently verified. Without ingredient transparency, it is impossible to assess whether volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde releasers, or other respiratory or skin irritants are present in either the spray or the dried coating.
What’s concerning
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inhalation risk
Spray-applied fabric coatings typically contain solvent carriers to enable application. 303 Products does not disclose solvent type or concentration, so presence and concentration of respiratory irritants cannot be confirmed or ruled out.
Skin and eye irritation from spray contact
The active coating agents and any surfactants in the proprietary formula are undisclosed. Accidental spray contact with skin or eyes is a common risk with trigger-spray products; severity depends on unknown formulation.
Allergic contact sensitization
Proprietary formulations may contain fragrances, preservatives, or reactive chemicals that trigger contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals. The undisclosed ingredients prevent pre-purchase risk assessment.
What’s reassuring
Polymer or silicone coating degradation
No public information indicates the coating breaks down or sheds microparticles over time. However, UV exposure and weathering typically degrade outdoor coatings; replacement frequency and degradation byproducts are not documented for this product.
Heavy metals
No public testing or disclosure of heavy metal content is available. Coating additives are not named, so presence of antimony, lead, or cadmium cannot be confirmed or excluded.

The brand's record and disclosure
303 Products has maintained silence on PFAS content in this product and does not publish safety data sheets, ingredient lists, or third-party test results accessible to consumers. The brand holds no major certifications for non-toxic formulation, sustainability, or chemical transparency. No recalls or documented health incidents specific to this product have been publicly recorded, but the absence of disclosure is not equivalent to safety verification.
How it compares in its category
Outdoor fabric guards on the market vary widely, some brands now offer PFAS-free formulas and publish ingredient lists, while others remain opaque. 303 Products' refusal to disclose sits at the less transparent end of the spectrum. Competitors offering disclosed, non-fluorinated alternatives exist and allow informed comparison; this product does not.
If you buy it
Apply only in well-ventilated outdoor areas to minimize inhalation of spray mist; avoid breathing vapors during and immediately after application. Do not spray near children, pets, or food preparation areas. Allow treated fabric to dry fully before contact. Reapply according to label instructions; frequency depends on weather exposure and fabric use. Store in a cool, dry location away from heat sources.
