Stralin® UPA 6 is used as a water repellent for finishes (fabric finish) and latex foams (following all production methods, such as NSF-foam, ammonium acetate-foam and no-gel foam). Stralin® UPA 6 prevents the immediate penetration of water into vulcanised latex foam and improves the surface structure. This produces much better abrasion resistance and adhesive-tape resistance. With fabric lamination, an improvement is achieved in both the handle and the hydrophobicity.

Stralin® UPA 8 is used to hydrophobise dispersion coatings.

The quantity of paraffin emulsions used has to be geared to the requirements and is 1%-2% for Stralin® UPA 6 and 3%-5% for Stralin® UPA 8, based on the total compound in each case.
