After a three-year European approval procedure, Artilin 3A Mate, CIN’s anti-mosquito paint, became the first anti-mosquito paint that met the most stringent requirements and thus was approved for sale on EU in 2016.
Now, the same French independent lab that carried all the initial tests carried further testing to assess the effectiveness of the paint film five years after it was applied and it obtained a 100 percent killing rate of the three most relevant mosquitos (the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae, the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti and the common house mosquito Culex pipiens).
These mosquito species are vectors of diseases such as Malaria, Dengue fever, Chikungunya, Zika fever and West Nile fever. Although some of these species were originally from tropical regions they can now be found also in subtropical and temperate regions.
Artilin 3A Mate contributes to effectively control the population of mosquitos reducing the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. Most importantly it is safe to humans and most common pets (cats, dogs and other warm-blooded animals) as verified by “Phycher Bio Développement,” a toxicology laboratory in Europe.
On top of that, the paint was also granted an A+ grade on Interior Air Quality according to French regulation.
This anti-mosquito paint is designed to be used on interior walls and ceilings in residential, public and commercial buildings and is available in a range of colors. Artilin 3A Mate can also control the population of other insects species like cockroaches Blattella germanica, common fly Musca domestica and biting house fly (also called stable fly) Stomoxys calcitrans, mites Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and bed bugs Cimex lectularius and Cimex hemipterus.
Artilin 3A Mate is on sale in over 22 countries from Europe (Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Luxemburg and Poland) to Africa (Angola, Mozambique, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Togo and Cape Verde), from the Americas (Brasil, Panama, Saint Martin, French Guiana and Barbados) to Asia (India).
