We believe in making your life easier and more pleasant by protecting all of your favorite products and materials from ever getting wet or dirty, so that you can enjoy them just as you did on day one. Too many times do we find ourselves at a corporate meeting spilling coffee on our ties, or walking through a puddle while damaging your shoes, and ruining our favorite belongings. Stop risking the spills of food and sauce in your car, stop risking getting oil on your dress shirt, stop worrying. Just DetraPel it!

1) We work alongside with a chemical lab who has over 150 collective years of experience with chemistry and 25 years of experience with nanotechnology. They helped us perfect the formula!

2) Our initial problem started with other products not being durable, harmful, and not as good as advertised. That's why we threw away everything and started from scratch. We decided to make a product that was not only durable, but also eco-friendly, biodegradable, and non-toxic. Something that wouldn't stain, nor ruin the fabric.

3) Our product is versatile and beats every product out on the market in terms of performance and actual durability. One application will last up to a year, we actually work, we are not harmful, and we do not destroy your precious items.

4) One bottle will actually cover about 5 pairs of shoes, or equivalent to 10 square feet. So it actually covers just as much as the leading competitor, all while not being aerosol and dangerous to the environment.

DetraPel is a water based, 100% non-toxic super hydrophobic spray that provides a clear, protective, and durable coating when applied on any solid material. It is portable and very easy to use. It is fully biodegradable and therefore 100% eco-friendly. In addition, it is non-flammable and non-corrosive. Finally, if applied correctly it will last anywhere up to a year.

1) We need your help to start our online marketing campaign through a series of videos where people can comment to see what they want to repel and on what material.

2) We need your help to continue our independent research, and secure a partnership with the brand new Sigh Center for Nanotechnology at the University of Pennsylvania.

3) We need your help to design and order Point of Purchase Displays for all retailers that are and will be carrying us. 

Hi! I am David Zamarin, 16 year old Founder of DetraPel. I grew up seeing my parents for a limited time. At the age of 2 my parents divorced, and my father was making a living being an entrepreneur himself; while my mother worked 17-hour shifts daily, to sustain a comfortable life for me. Having parents who came from Europe just years before meeting and having me in the United States, it became a hardship to watch them struggle to succeed. I began to love entrepreneurship from an early age, because I wanted to be independent and help my family. When getting into high school, I as a freshman, joined a youth entrepreneurship course outside of school, which encouraged me to drop my old businesses, and start my first real one. I opened the only shoe detailer in Philadelphia and had a few successful months, before I was declined for a private label agreement for a solution similar to DetraPel's. I took that rejection as motivation, and researched just enough in one night, to develop a new formula and to contact a manufacturer in Florida. I am now expanding my options and working with a new lab that will even better the already awesome solution. Help me on this journey and vision to helping others by protecting their beloved things.

• Do not saturate the material this could create stiffening and discoloration. Saturation will also significantly extend the cure time required for proper results.

• Be advised if you do not allow a full 24 hours for air cure it will significantly diminish or completely eliminate the protective properties of the technology.

  SPECIAL SITUATION:

• On smooth leather and vinyl, you need to spray a thin layer directly on the material then without delay wipe product even with a sponge or lint free cloth. This protocol is imperative to achieving proper coverage and desired results.

• When spraying suede material, be sure to apply a light coating and to not soak the material. Additionally, be extra careful in order to not stiffen the suede, and follow regular steps.

WARNING:

1. We always recommend testing a small discrete area to guarantee compatibility.

2. If the material you intend to protect has had any other coating installed the previous coating must be 100% worn off or we cannot guarantee proper results. The DetraPel product is water- based and may not properly bond to the previous coating.

3. Do not aerosolize or spray under high pressure.
