It offers controlled release from the time of application, for a good knockdown effect with residual activity for up to 60 days. 

Formulation

What is Microencapsulation? 

Microencapsulation is the technique of protecting an ingredient inside a polymer membrane. It prevents the total immediate release of actives upon application and it allows prolonged efficacy over a period of time. It also reduces odour and significantly enhances operator safety.

Capsules vary by two factors:

1.Size (ranging from 10 to 110 nanometers)
2.Membrane thickness 

How Does Microencapsulation Work? 

The varying size and thickness of the capsules allows the active to be released by:
1. Diffusion through the pores in the capsule wall.
2. Thinner capsules rupture/break on application, releasing active instantly.
3. Thicker capsules break down over time, causing prolonged release of active.

Thicker membranes allow for a controlled release, meaning product can remain effective for up to 3 months.

Active Ingredient: Permethrin 25:75
