Permethrin and Pyrethroid Insecticide-Treated Textile Testing
topic
Permethrin content and wash durability testing in intentionally treated military, outdoor, and travel textiles quantifies active pyrethroid concentration by GC-ECD or GC-MS before and after standardised washing cycles, assessing retention of insecticidal efficacy against target arthropod species including mosquitoes, ticks, and mites through bioassay knockdown and mortality tests.
Role
Validates the insect protection efficacy and wash durability of pyrethroid-treated protective textiles authorised under EU Biocidal Products Regulation Article 95 for malaria, Lyme disease, and leishmaniasis vector control in military, humanitarian, and outdoor recreation textile applications.
