The Use of Permethrin in New Insect Proofing Agents for Wool

Abstract: The development and properties of the photostable pyre–throids are reviewed with reference to the use of permethrin for the protection of wool. An emulsifiable concentrate formulation (of this insecticide) – Perigen * – has been developed for use as an industrial mothproofer. The compound shows excellent fastness on wool and good biological activity against the major textile pests. The influence of dyebath pH, dyeing auxiliaries and duration of boiling in the dyebath on the application of the insecticide, is d… Show more

A B S T R A C TThe lust 40 years has seen significant evolution of. the synthetic pyrethroids from their relatioelp restricted usage in domestic fly and mosquito control to their adoption in ull major ureus of public heulth pest control. The use of' tl7e synthetic pyrethroids in national and international control campuigns and it7 village leael selj4ielp pest-control schemes fbr major disease uectors such as mosquitoes, tsetse und blackfly is e.uamined. Their successfirl introduction into the urban public health sector for control of' cockroaches, fleas, bedbugs and lice, etc., is reviewed.

A previous study evaluating the mothproofing activity of synthetic pyrethroids of the type 2‐substituted 3,3‐dimethylcyclopropane‐ 1‐carboxylates found this class of compounds to be active against the common clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella H.) and the black carpet beetle (Attagenus piceus Oliv.), but higher concentrations were required to protect keratinous materials from larval damage by the furniture carpet beetle (Anthrenus vorax Waterh., syn. Anthrenus flavipesie Conte var. seminiveus Casey). The present paper evaluates the mothproofing efficacy of the structurally related α‐substituted phenyl‐acetates. It has been found that this class of substances exhibits an activity pattern that is similar to that of the 2‐substituted 3,3‐dimethylcyclopropane‐ 1‐carboxylates. A representative of the phenylacetate class, S—5439, is compared with the corresponding cyclopropanecarboxylate, permethrin.

A study has been made of the distribution of insectproofing agents between wool and nylon after their dyebath application to blends. The active constituents of Eulan WA New and Mitin LP displayed a much higher affinity for the nylon than for the wool. The partition coefficients (k) for these formulations varied from 7. 6 to 23 depending on the type of nylon present. Increasing the application temperature (from 40 to 100°C) and the treatment period (from 30 to 180 min) markedly increased k. Dyebath pH and the presence of levelling agents and dyes had little effect on k, but it was reduced by a nylon‐blocking agent. Perigen generally distributed evenly (k=1–2) between wool and nylon. Testing for insect damage revealed that Eulan WA New adsorbed on nylon made little contribution towards controlling the insect feeding damage to a wool/nylon blend. With a constant application level, the concentration of Eulan WA New on the wool component of blends decreased as the proportion of nylon in the blend was increased, but k remained essentially constant. Much higher application levels of insectproofing agents based on PCSDs are required for insectproofing wool/nylon blends than for wool.
