氯菊酯织物处理剂

Permethrin is a synthetic version of the Chrysanthemum flower’s natural insect repellent pyrethrin. The naturally occurring version breaks down rather quickly in sunlight but Sawyer’s pharmaceutical grade, synthetic Permethrin can last 6 weeks or 6 washings on clothing and other fabrics, making it a fantastic odorless barrier of protection from mosquitoes and ticks.

氯菊酯不会损坏衣物或设备。与可能会损害某些织物和材料的DEET不同，氯菊酯甚至可用于丝绸等易碎织物，以及所有合成纤维和防水薄膜织物。氯菊酯不会影响塑料或表面处理。如果有疑问，请在不明显的表面区域，尤其是精致衣物上试用样品，并在接触 24 小时后进行检查。氯菊酯可能对鱼类等水生生物有害，因此不要在鱼缸周围喷洒氯菊酯。

建议在室外使用菊酯气雾剂处理衣物。如果不小心在室内进行处理，根据吸入剂量计算，预计不会对健康造成不良影响。不过，有呼吸问题（如哮喘）的人可能会面临更大的风险。用菊酯处理织物时产生的气味主要来自气雾推进剂，而不是驱虫剂本身。

氯菊酯与大多数织物之间会形成牢固的粘合。事实上，军服在洗涤 50 次后仍有一定的驱虫效果。不过，处理军服时使用的是吸收法，而不是气雾剂罐。在美国陆军进行的研究中，第一次洗涤后，约有 20% 至 30% 的菊酯处理剂被去除。此后，在十次洗涤过程中，每次洗涤都会损失约 3%至 5%。

动物研究表明，直接施用不会对皮肤造成刺激或过敏。在一项对照人体研究中，对 200 名受试者进行了测试，结果表明氯菊酯不会对皮肤造成明显的刺激或过敏。预计穿着经过氯菊酯处理的衣物不会对皮肤产生明显影响。

To apply Sawyer Permethrin, follow these step-by-step instructions for clothing and gear:

1. Preparation • Location: pick a well-ventilated area protected from the wind • Shake well before use, Permethrin tends to separate • Garment set-up: lay items out or hang them up, do not treat clothing while it is being worn
2. Application • Spray Technique: Hold the bottle upright 6–8 inches from the fabric surface. • Motion: Use a slow, sweeping motion to lightly moisten the surface of the fabric. • Timing: Treat each side of a garment (front and back) for approximately 30 seconds. • Coverage: Fabric should be well-dampened, often indicated by a slight color change or darkening, but does not need to be dripping wet. • Dosage Guide: Use approximately 4.5 oz. of Permethrin per complete outfit (one shirt, one pair of pants, and one pair of socks).
3. Drying and Storage • Allow items to fully air dry for at least 2 hours or longer, until fully dry. • Heat Bonding: While you should not put wet treated items in a running dryer, you can speed up drying by pre-heating an empty dryer, turning it off, and then placing the items inside. This heat helps the bonding process. • Extending Life: Store treated clothing in black plastic bags between uses to protect it from air and sunlight, which can extend its effectiveness.

Safety Notes • Skin Contact: Do not apply Permethrin directly to skin, face, or eyes. It is for clothing and gear treatment only • Pets: Permethrin is safe for dogs but is toxic to cats until it has completely dried. • Re-treatment: Retreat items after 6 weeks or 6 washings to maintain protection.

To treat your dog, first put a glove on one hand and spray with the other hand while fluffing dog hair, starting at the tail and moving toward the collar area. Spray rapidly to make sure the entire body is covered. Do not spray into the eyes and face - instead, spray a washcloth and wipe it. Pay special attention to the collar area, dog pit areas, and paws, as that is likely where a tick will try to attach. The dog does not have to be fully soaked. Avoid contact with genitalia. If the dog is super short-haired, you can also spray on a washcloth and wipe it on. For extra protection, you can spray your dog's bed, blanket, jacket, etc. It will last 5 weeks for mosquitoes and flea control and 6 weeks for ticks and other insects. Make sure to apply well before bedtime so that the product has time to dry. Do not use on puppies under 12 weeks.

Permethrin should not be applied near cats or aquatic animals. Cats have a very unique and sensitive central nervous system, and you never want to apply it to them or even spray it near them during the application process. However, once the treated clothing, gear, or fabric has fully dried, it is completely safe to wear/use around cats.

Yes, you can spray your clothing/gear with Permethrin outdoors, in a garage or in a storeroom and then bring them in to dry. If the sprayed items freeze, they will need to thaw out and completely dry before using/wearing in order for the Permethrin to bond to the fabric. You can also spray them in your house, just ventilate the area by opening a window or door and leave the room for a bit as you would not want to breathe it in.

Depending on the humidity, it should take between 2 to 4 hours to dry. Do not ever put them in your dryer when it is running, but to speed up the drying process, you can run your dryer while it is empty to heat it up, then shut it off and put your clothes in the warm dryer and leave them in there until dry. If necessary, you can repeat this process. The heat actually helps the bonding process and extends the life of the product.

Yes, Sawyer Permethrin is family-friendly. When fully dry and used as directed Sawyer Permethrin is safe for use around babies, pregnant women, and children. The Sawyer Foundation even equips global non-profits with Permethrin Baby Wraps, which reduces malaria infections in infants by 66%.

Spray the object, let it dry, spray again, let it dry, and spray again. If unabsorbed Permethrin drips off of the garment, catch the drippings and reuse. Apply as evenly as possible until the application is fully absorbed.

If you’re water proofing your own clothing, apply the water repellent first, then apply Permethrin using the process above.
