While there are fixed criteria with so-called water columns that determine the water permeability of a substance or a membrane, there are no fixed criteria for a water-repellent material.


Water-repellent means that the outer fabric repels moisture for a short time.

There are different ways to make an upper water-repellent. The tanneries Sole Runner is working with do not use fluorocarbon and per fluorocarbon.


They do a water-repellent process in which they use Densodrin OF and Densodrin CD from Stahl chemicals which is silicon based and Perfectol HQ a paraffin based fat liquor to fix the water- repelling character.


Due to this process all our leathers will be free from Fluorocarbon and per fluorocarbon’s presence and will be a water repellent leather and not water proof.
