Technology
How a treated surface repels.
Affix Labs binds a repellent active substance into a film that sits on the surface. The film releases the substance slowly. It works on contact with treated surfaces: insects that touch one leave it. Nothing is dispersed into the air after drying.
Spray onto the surface where insects enter or rest. Skirting, window frames, bed frames, bin areas. One even pass, no soaking.
Active substance
Icaridin, a repellent with decades of use.
Icaridin is the name the EU Biocidal Products Regulation uses for this active substance. Affix Labs applies it to surfaces instead of skin, held in a coating that controls how fast it is released.
- Product type
- Surface and textile insect repellent spray. Repellent mode of action, PT19.
- Platform
- Water-based controlled-release delivery platform, patented
Surfaces
Tested on the surfaces where insects walk and rest.
Every insect was tested on a mix of absorbent and non-absorbent materials, to match real rooms. See the technical data sheet for dosing and excluded surfaces.
Hard, sealed surfaces. The coating stays on top.
- Ceramic tiles
- Glass
- Plexiglass
- Galvanised iron
- Laminate flooring
Porous materials and textiles. The coating sits in the top layer.
- Unpainted cement
- Plywood
- Carpet
- Cotton
- Cotton blends
- Polyester
Preparation: the surface should be clean and dry. Degrease tiles in kitchens first.
