PAINTICIDE Insecticidal Emulsion Paint for Insect & Pest Control (Winner of Innovation Award 2001 from Prime Minister Department)

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Painticide contains a pyrethroid, Deltamethrin as the active ingredient.
It also contains a synergist, piperonyl Butoxide used to increase the killing power of deltamethrin.

MODE OF ACTION
When an insect comes into contact with surfaces painted with PAINTICIDE, it will pick up the insecticide particles from the film of paint. The insecticide will rapidly kill the insect. The killing action is hastened by the synergist. Resistance to deltamethrin is also prevented by the synergist.

SPECTRUM OF ACTIVITY
PAINTICIDE is effective against all insects: all species of mosquitoes, housefly, American and German cockroaches, ants fleas and other pests. A painting of PAINTICIDE is effective for at least 2 years under normal conditions on most surfaces.

SAFETY
The active ingredient, deltamethrin is a relatively safe insecticide. It is one of the insecticides approved and listed by the World Health Organisation for vectorborne disease control. It is now widely used in Malaysia as wall residual spray for malaria control and other household insects such as mosquitoes, cockroaches, housefly and ants. Deltamethrin is also widely used in fogging and space spraying. Tests also showed that PAINTICIDE has no fumigation effect, as the insecticide particles are trapped in the film of paint deposited on the wall.

FORMULATION
PAINTICIDE is presently available as an emulsion paint formulation containing 0.25% of deltamethrin. Choice of colours can be customer made with quantity and OEM is allowed.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
USE PAINTICIDE as you would for normal household emulsion paint. Use PAINTICIDE undiluted. If necessary (e.g to improve spread), dilute PAINTICIDE with a small amount of water and mix thoroughly prior to painting. Paint with a normal brush/roller. Leave to dry for at least 1 hour. Soak brush/roller in clean water overnight and dry. Wash hands and body with soap and water after painting.
