Melbourne, Australia – March 2025 – Defab has officially acquired all the intellectual property (IP) of Wax Converters Textiles (WCT)—which means that well-known names like Dynaproof, Billabong, DX12, BullDuck, and Coolabah are now backed by 49 years of Defab’s expertise in Australian-made textiles.
WCT was one of the biggest suppliers in the market, but now it’s time for a new chapter. Under Defab’s ownership, these fabrics will be improved, modernised, and built to outperform anything before them. We’re keeping the same proven fabric constructions, but enhancing the coatings, waterproofing, and overall performance—making them the best they’ve ever been.

What This Means for You
From now on, Defab is the only place you’ll get authentic WCT-branded fabrics. That means:
— All the well-known WCT brands & trademarks – Dynaproof, Billabong, DX12, BullDuck, Coolabah, and more
— Same fabric constructions – now with improved coatings, treatments, and durability
— An upgraded product range – built on 49 years of industry expertise
— The official Wax Converters website & digital assets – no more confusion about where to buy
No Shortcuts.
No Pretenders.
Just the Best Fabric Yet.
“We’ve acquired the IP, but we’re not just carrying on—we’re stepping things up,” says Joe De Petro, CEO of Defab. “With nearly five decades in the game, we know what it takes to make fabric that lasts. We’re taking these well-known products and making them better than they’ve ever been.”
And let’s be clear: there is NO OTHER place to get WCT-produced fabrics except through Defab’s trusted, authorised network. If it’s not coming from us, it’s not the real thing.
What’s Next?
Defab is gearing up production to ensure fabricators, campers, awning makers, and tradies get what they need, when they need it. With superior technical improvements, consistent supply, and unbeatable industry support, the next generation of WCT fabrics is here—and it’s better than ever.
