Last into the tank is David Zamarin of DetraPel, seeking $200,000 for 20 percent equity.
DetraPel is a liquid repellant spray that keeps stains at bay. According to their website, “the superior hydrophobic liquid repellent spray…uses nanotechnology to repel almost anything off of almost any surface, from water to mud.” The spray is available for consumer, retail and industrial use and ranges in price from $12.99 to $32.99.
The sharks are completely amazed by the spray and are inspired by Zamarin’s journey from his days of high school entrepreneurship. They are expected to do $300,000 to $350,000 in sales mainly through B2B and online selling. The formula is currently 100 percent original after several changes were made.
Robert Herjavec worries that it all might be too good to be true, but Mark Cuban offers $200,000 for 25 percent. Lori Greiner then jumps in with the same offer of $200,000 for 25 percent. He questions whether Cuban and Greiner would partner, which Cuban agrees to after Zamarin shares where he wants to take the business. Rohan Oza then offers $200,000 for 25 percent, followed by Robert Herjavec at $200,000 for 23 percent. Herjavec and Oza then partner with $200,000 for 23 percent. Barbara Corcoran then goes out and advises him to accept Cuban and Greiner’s offer.
Ultimately, Zamarin accepts Cuban and Greiner’s offer.

Each week on “Shark Tank,” budding entrepreneurs have the opportunity to pitch their emerging businesses to multi-millionaire and billionaire investors, known as sharks: Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks; Daymond John, fashion mogul and founder of FUBU; Kevin O’Leary, self-proclaimed Mr. Wonderful and founder of O’Leary Financial Group; Barbara Corcoran, real estate maven; Lori Greiner, queen of QVC; and Robert Herjavec, technology guru and founder/CEO of the Herjavec Group.
Philanthropist and Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, Spanx founder Sara Blakely, Skinnygirl Cocktails founder and Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel, Vitamin Water founder Rohan Oza and former MLB player Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez are also slated to appear as guest sharks this season.
“Shark Tank,” which is based on “Dragons’ Den,” is produced by Mark Burnett and first debuted in 2009. To date, the sharks have invested more than $100 million in various companies after engaging in numerous bidding wars and shark fights. A new episode airs each Sunday at 9 p.m. on ABC.

Impressive I work in a dialysis unit. I wear scrubs . I think you could make tons of money . There are high end scrub companies..Good Luck !!
Has someone not done their homework? Rustoleum has had this on the market for some time now. TED has this product and advertises it as super nano technology, not “superior,” and there is a difference. I’ve been using this on outside drapes and my porch for over a year now. Not new!
How can I order this?????
Saw this on Shark Tank. Can’t wait to try it. Our 3 yr old granddaughter lives with us. Her mother and I could use this everywhere to protect it from the kids and three dogs we have.
Exciting product by a fascinating & brilliant young man! It seems a fair price point for the 2oz spray, except for the repeated applications needed for items that require regular laundering .Still, the potential for other consumer & industrial, is enormous! I’d like to know more about the other products alluded to during the Shark Tank pitch & online.?? I’m also curious to see other nano- based iterations of the initial concept, now that the inventor has secured the financial support, expertise & guidance of such innovative, experienced & reputible entrepreneurs! It will be interesting to see what else this hardworking & inspired visionary creates going forward!
Maybe so, but I doubt that Rustoleum’s version is a non-toxic, water-based product..
DetraPel could also be used, possibly, as mud repellant on vehicles! Imagine never, or seldomly, having to wash your vehicle again! I imagine dust adheres to paint due to ambient moisture on paint. Perhaps other static charged particles, but definitely this product could help reduce dirty vehicles.
I can’t wait to get this!! I understand the “too-good-to- be- true” comment — but after the presentation (despite how leary I usually am) TAKE MY MONEY!!
