| 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.
