Paul Mitchell Bufalo Super Impregnator 250 ml is a protective spray formulated to provide water-repellent performance for a range of materials. The product is designed to form an invisible protective layer that reduces moisture penetration while preserving the surface texture and appearance. Packaged as a 250 ml aerosol, it is intended for periodic maintenance and protective treatment of fabrics and other materials that are frequently exposed to damp conditions.
Advantages
The spray offers targeted moisture protection without significantly altering the look or feel of treated surfaces. Its formulation allows for quick application and relatively fast drying, creating a hydrophobic barrier that helps prevent water absorption and staining. As a maintenance product, it can extend the usable life of water-sensitive items and support easier cleaning.
Suitable for
- Textiles and fabric upholstery
- Shoes and leatherette surfaces
- Outdoor gear and accessories that tolerate spray treatments
- Everyday items exposed to rain, splashes or high humidity
When it may not be suitable
The impregnation spray is not intended for use on delicate finishes that require specialist care, such as untreated aniline leathers or hand-dyed textiles where water-based treatments can alter color or texture. It may not provide sufficient protection for prolonged immersion in water or for porous building materials like untreated wood or masonry.
Key specifications
- Form: aerosol spray, 250 ml container
- Primary function: water-repellent impregnation
- Application type: surface spray for creating a hydrophobic barrier
- Suitable material types: fabrics, coated leathers, synthetics and similar surfaces
- Effect: reduces water penetration and helps resist stains from moisture
How to use
Shake the can well before use. Apply the spray evenly from a distance of approximately 20–30 cm over clean, dry surfaces. Allow treated items to dry fully before exposure to moisture; drying time will vary depending on material and environmental conditions. For best results, test the product on an inconspicuous area first to check for colorfastness or surface reaction. Reapply periodically according to usage and exposure to wet conditions.
What to consider before purchase
- Check compatibility with the specific material; perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area.
- This product is intended for surface water repellency, not for protection against full immersion.
- Observe any care instructions from the original item manufacturer to avoid voiding warranties.
Usage recommendations
Use in a well-ventilated area and keep away from open flames or heat sources during application. Apply in thin, even coats rather than a single heavy coat to achieve consistent coverage and faster drying. For items frequently exposed to wet weather, schedule reapplication at regular intervals to maintain water repellency.
