STOP-INSECT has been formulated to impart anti-insect properties to flexible PVC, enhancing its existing qualities such as clarity, brightness, durability, flexibility, and robust impact resistance.
STOP-INSECT repels 80% of mosquitoes and effectively eliminates those that come into contact with the product, achieving a 100% kill rate over a 12-month period. Additionally, STOP-INSECT helps deter spiders, ticks, chiggers, mites, and scabies mites.
This anti-insect PVC variant is particularly suitable for strip curtain doors and partitions exposed to insect activity. It efficiently repels insects and prevents their infiltration into various environments, including schools, hospitals, health centers, factories, industrial workshops, commercial shops, public buildings, and private residences.
The active ingredient in STOP-INSECT is safe for humans and endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the prevention of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever and malaria.
The Extruflex Anti-Insect PVC range, is engineered with Anti-Insect properties added into the flexible PVC, while preserving its inherent attributes, including optical clarity, luminosity, durability, flexibility, and robust impact resistance.
These innovative solutions adeptly repel approximately 80% of mosquitoes and administer a lethal blow to any mosquitoe that comes into contact with the vinyl, guaranteeing a 100% mortality rate over a 12-month period. Additionally, Anti-Insect PVC serves as an effective deterrent against spiders, ticks, chiggers, mites, and scabies mites.
Pest control is a very crucial aspect of safety within the food industry or for areas that get a lot of disease-spreading mosquitoes.
Insects can spread serious diseases and therefore pest control is extremely important in vulnerable areas or industries. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls mosquitoes the “world’s deadliest animal.” It’s a well deserved title because vector-borne diseases, caused by mosquitoes cause more than 700,000 deaths worldwide every year. Mosquitoes are capable of spreading at least 6 dangerous diseases, some of which include malaria, dengue, yellow fever, and the Zika virus.
Anti-Insect PVC strips or sheets aid in the reduction of unwanted insects in factories, such as mosquitoes, ants, spiders, scorpions, mites, ticks, fleas or cockroaches. They will also effectively protect your personnel against a build-up of these insects.
Anti-Insect PVC has been designed to keep away insects with its specially designed Anti-Insect properties, acting as a barrier to prevent insects from entering houses and workplaces.
The Anti-Insect PVC also kills all insects on contact, ensuring that insects do not enter through doorways or partitions.
These curtains are also great barriers against noise, dust, bugs, birds and other nuisances.
Anti-Insect PVC Curtain Rolls and stripsrepel insects due to the anti-insect properties of the PVC. The PVC can also act as a barrier to prevent insects from passing through doorways or partitions.
Extruflex has incorporated an anti-insect agent in its soft vinyl compound. This agent acts as a deterrent for insects and if any insects do make it onto the PVC, it will kill the insects on contact with the PVC.
The neuro-toxin agent in the anti-insect PVC slowly releases over time, keeping a consistent effect.
Anti-insect PVC strips will need to be replaced every 24 months for optimum use as the agent in the PVC will begin to be less effective after this 24-month period.
The agent achieves two main effects in the fight against insects:
The agent within the Anti-Insect PVC Curtain Rolls is completely safe for humans and recommended by the World Health Organisation.
Anti-insect PVC is specifically recommended for strip curtains and partitions that will encounter insects.
Anti-Insect PVC will efficiently repel insects and prevent infiltration of areas like schools, hospitals, health centres, factories, industrial workshops, commercial shops, public buildings and private residences.
