The Cell Solution® PROTECTION fiber contains the active substance permethrin (acc. to the WHO recommendation, C21H20Cl2O3, CAS number: 52645-53-1). Permethrin is a synthetic substance that acts similar to the natural pyrethrum extracted from chrysanthemum flowers.
When insects get into contact with the Cell Solution® PROTECTION fiber, and with the permethrin, the knockdown effect of the substance sets in. A chemically initiated stimulus causes insects to stay on the textile shorter thus reducing the risk of painful and infectious bites or stings. The repellent effect has been particularly demonstrated for all insects, ticks, mites and gnats.
The Cell Solution® PROTECTION fiber contains paraffin. A substance with a high heat of fusion which, melting and solidifying at approximately 30, is capable of storing and releasing large amounts of energy.
