PermaNet® 2.0 Long-Lasting Insecticidal Net (LN)
A ready-to-use mosquito bed net, PermaNet® 2.0, patented in many countries, is impregnated with an odourless and biodegradable insecticide called deltamethrin that is mixed in a resin, coating the netting fibres. A progressive release of insecticide from the resin guarantees retention of the net's efficacy even after 20 washes. PermaNet® 2.0 bed net is environment-friendly as it reduces the total exposure of insecticide in the environment. This bed net requires no re-treatment or dipping and a dirt repellent feature has been added to keep it clean longer. |
PermaNet® 2.0 has a WHOPES (World Health Organization Pesticide Evaluation Scheme) recommendation, which declares it safe and effective for the prevention and control of malaria and other vector-borne diseases. |
|
PermaNet® 2.0 bed net is made of 100% polyester in either 75 or 100 deniers, and is available in various colours, shapes and sizes. |
