TANATEX CHEMICALS UN NUEVO CONCEPTO A PRUEBA DE INSECTOS Las personas han estado luchando para pro- tegerse contra las enfermedades transmitidas por insectos durante mucho tiempo. Reciente- mente, los peligros se hicieron más visibles por brotes de enfermedades como Zika y Lyme. Ambas enfermedades causaron una gran pre- ocupación en América del Norte y Europa, lo que dio lugar a una creciente demanda de productos de protección contra insectos. Du- rante muchos años, los expertos de Tanatex han estado explorando la e cacia de la perme- trina. Después de una investigación minuciosa, nuestros expertos han encontrado una manera de proteger a las personas y los animales con- tra los insectos. Solución Tanatex ampliamente utilizada La permetrina es mucho más tóxica para los insectos que para las criaturas de sangre ca- liente, por lo que es recomendado por la Or- ganización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) como pesticida para la salud pública. La permetrina es también la opción de las fuerzas armadas de todo el mundo que utilizan el producto TANATEX CHEMICALS A NEW INSECT PROOF CONCEPT People have been struggling to protect them- selves against insect borne diseases for a long time. Recently, the dangers were under- lined by disease outbreaks like Zika and Lyme. Both diseases caused a great deal of unrest in North-America and Europe, resulting in a grow- ing demand for insect protection products. For many years, Tanatex experts have been apply- ing the power of permethrin. After thorough research, our experts found a way to protect people and animals against insects. Widely Used Tanatex Solution Permethrin is way more toxic to insects than it is to warm blooded creatures, which is why it is recommended by the World Health Organisa- tion (WHO) as public health pesticide. Perme- thrin is also the choice of armed forces around the world that use the product to insect proof their uniforms. Clearly, Permethrin products are on the rise. Tanatex Chemicals is listed as a product sup- plier of an effective insect protection agent to ght insects. This cutting-edge insect proof concept can be applied on all bre types and is widely used for military wear, fashion apparel, sportswear and outdoor apparel. In addition, the agent is D-day for biocide reg- ulations: being a biocide, permethrin is subject to regulations. As of September 2015, only of- cially registered products can be sold in Eu- rope. In some cases, textile manufacturers have to register their products too. When working with Permethrin, some knowledge on regula- tion and international agreements is required. As submitted in April 2016, the active principles of the product are: Permethrin (active ingredi- ent), and Bayprotect® AM (product that pro- tects people and animals against insects). Plenty of Bene ts ·Up to 100 washes The active component of Insect Proof is syn- thetic pyrethroid, a constituent similar to the substance found in owers like the chrysanthe- mum. Combined with Tanatex’s unique binder system, the concept has a profound long-last- ing effect that can last up to 100 washes. Even after being laundered many times, the nish will not lose its functionality. The Insect Proof Con- cept can be used on all types of fabric, ranging from sportswear, outdoor wear, military wear and even tents and mosquito nets. ·Armed Forces First Choice Permethrin based products have been used for over 20 years in insect proo ng of combat uniforms, one of the major applications of the Insect Proof apparel. Defence forces battle on the most unforgiving terrains where they en- counter a wide variety of insects. This makes them vulnerable to a range of tropical diseases. The top of the Tanatex’s treatment bill is paid by numerous armies worldwide. This is thanks to the German army that has made Permethrin its standard. ·No further registration required Tanatex Chemicals is listed on the Europe- an Biocidal Products Regulation (EU – BPR) as a product supplier for permethrin and the product type (PT) 18. Permethrin regulation is complex, and rules differ per country and main function of the end product, these having con- sequences for both permethrin suppliers and textile manufacturers. Tanatex treated textiles with the registered product do not require fur- ther registration in the EU. Tanatex agent can be applied on all - bre types and is widely used for military wear, fashion apparel, sportswear and outdoor apparel 84 PRODUCTOS DE ACTUALIDAD / UPDATED PRODUCTS
