Developed in the Koch Chemie laboratories in Unna, Germany, TexLock forms an invisible breathable barrier that repels liquid contamination on contact, giving you precious seconds to wipe before a spill becomes a permanent stain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere untreated fabric absorbs coffee, soda and food spills directly into the fibers, TexLock causes liquids to bead and sit on the surface long enough to blot away cleanly. The German formulation does not stiffen the fabric or change its texture, but adds protection that lasts months between applications. Apply after LeatherTexClean for a complete fabric care workflow: clean first with LeatherTexClean, protect after with TexLock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Detailers Trust TexLock\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydrophobic fabric barrier:\u003c\/strong\u003e liquids bead on the surface instead of soaking into the fibers, buying time to clean before staining sets in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStain resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e coffee, wine, soda, food spills and dye transfer from jeans wipe off cleanly when the fabric is treated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e blocks the photo-degradation that fades dark fabric and weakens fiber structure over years of sun exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreathable formulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e does not stiffen the fabric or change its texture, the material continues to feel and behave like factory upholstery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-fabric safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e works on woven fabric, microsuede, Alcantara, carpet, headliner and synthetic upholstery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in Germany:\u003c\/strong\u003e formulated and bottled in Koch Chemie's own laboratories in Unna.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use Koch Chemie TexLock\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClean the fabric first with LeatherTexClean (or another fabric cleaner) and allow the surface to air-dry completely.

Two thin coats outperform one heavy application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAllow the treated fabric to cure for 4 to 6 hours before normal use.

For garage-kept weekend cars, every 6 months is sufficient. Re-application is faster than the first treatment because the previous coats build cumulative protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e never apply TexLock to fabric that still has cleaner residue or moisture.

TexLock creates a hydrophobic surface barrier that causes liquids to bead instead of soak, buying critical seconds to blot away spills before they penetrate. Over the lifetime of a vehicle, regular fabric protection dramatically reduces stain accumulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill TexLock stiffen my fabric or change its texture?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The breathable formulation absorbs into the fiber structure without coating the surface. The fabric retains its natural softness, breathability and visual character. The only noticeable change is improved liquid resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use TexLock on Alcantara?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. TexLock is safe on Alcantara and microsuede. Apply lightly with multiple thin coats rather than one heavy application. After drying, brush the Alcantara nap gently with a soft brush to restore the natural texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between TexLock and LeatherLock?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTexLock is for fabric and textile surfaces. LeatherLock is for leather and vinyl. Both create protective barriers but use chemistry tuned for the very different surfaces of fabric versus leather. Use TexLock on upholstery fabric, headliner and carpet. Use LeatherLock on leather seats and vinyl door panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I apply TexLock to brand-new fabric upholstery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. New fabric is the ideal time to apply protection because the fibers are clean and unstained. Treating new upholstery with TexLock before any spills accumulate provides the longest possible protective benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is TexLock made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKoch Chemie TexLock is formulated and bottled in Germany by Koch Chemie GmbH at their headquarters in Unna.
