What Outdoor Fabric UV Protection Sunscreen is made of, ingredients and materials
The brand's product is a spray-applied coating claimed to provide waterproofing and UV protection for outdoor fabrics and furniture. The specific resin chemistry, solvent type, and whether the formula contains fluorinated compounds (PFAS) are not disclosed in available public materials. Waterproof coatings for textiles typically rely on acrylics, polyurethanes, or silicones; UV blockers are often achieved with mineral oxides or organic absorbers. Without ingredient transparency, assessment of off-gassing risk and environmental persistence is limited.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
Vague safety claims only
Uses vague language ("eco-friendly", "clean") without a specific PFAS statement.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and solvent off-gassing
Spray coatings typically contain organic solvents to achieve application and drying. Without solvent type disclosure, acute inhalation risk during application and potential low-level chronic off-gassing from coated fabrics stored indoors cannot be ruled out.
PFAS
PFAS grade assigned (35/100) reflects industry prevalence in waterproof fabric coatings and the brand's non-disclosure stance. Fluorocarbon chemistries are common in this application class; confirmation or exclusion requires brand testing or ingredient certification.
Source, ATSDR ↗What’s reassuring
Formaldehyde / VOCs
No public record of formaldehyde in the brand's fabric spray formulation. Some fabric coatings do incorporate formaldehyde-releasing resins for durability; this product's resin chemistry is unspecified.
Source, ATSDR ↗Azo dyes or colorant toxicity
This is a clear or translucent coating spray, not a dye product. Heavy metal pigments in colorants are not an identified concern for this specific product.
Flame retardants
No public evidence that this spray contains halogenated or phosphorus-based flame retardants. Outdoor coatings for furniture are not typically flame-retardant formulated unless explicitly marketed.

The brand's record and disclosure
The brand, a paint and coating brand, does not appear to maintain published ingredient disclosure, PFAS testing data, or third-party certifications (Oeko-Tex, Bluesign, etc.) in publicly available channels for this product. No major recalls specific to this spray have been identified. The brand's silence on fluorochemistry use is a significant transparency gap given that water-repellent fabric coatings are a known PFAS-application category.
How it compares in its category
Outdoor fabric protection sprays range widely, budget products often use unlabeled chemistries; mid-range alternatives (e.g., Scotchgard, Nikwax) typically disclose solvent type and may carry eco-certifications. The brand's lack of public ingredient or certification detail places it below peers that offer chemical transparency. Physical barrier methods (shade covers, retractable umbrellas) or wax-based sprays present lower-hazard alternatives to fluorinated coatings.
If you buy it
Apply outdoors or in well-ventilated spaces only; inhalation of spray mist and solvent vapors is a primary exposure route. Follow reapplication frequency per label; recoating typically needed annually or after heavy cleaning. Check furniture care labels to confirm coating compatibility with material type. Store container in cool, dry conditions away from children and pets; dispose per local hazardous-waste guidelines if solvents are present.
