Karpathia® IXO anti-tick covers

Product detailed description

Karpathia® IXO made from a special Slovak Prolen® IXO fibre, which reduces retention (dwell time) and the risk of infestation by the common tick (Ixodes Ricinus). Ingredients: 100% polypropylene Prolen® IXO (treated with a repellent, reducing the possibility of infestation by the IXODES Ricinus tick, based on natural substances) Sizes: S/M - 50x15 cm , L/XL - 50x17 cm Recently, there has been an increase in the number of ticks in Europe due to warming. Ticks are carriers of encephalitis, Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, babesiosis and other serious diseases that are very difficult to treat. So that you don't have to give up the experience of being outdoors, or if you do outdoor work, we have developed a special Prolen® IXO polypropylene fibre that reduces the possibility of being attacked by IXODES Ricinus - the tick, which is the most common tick found in Europe. This fibre contains natural substances that are non-irritating to humans, it is made on a natural base without pesticides and synthetic repellents. It was developed in Slovakia by Chemosvit Fibrochem, s.r.o. in cooperation with the Institute of Parasitology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice and the Faculty of Natural Sciences of P.J. Šafárik University in Košice. The Prolen® IXO fibre is treated with a repellent based on natural substances, active ingredient: decanoic acid (decanoic acid, n-decanoic acid, capric acid). This substance reduces the retention (dwell time) and the risk of infestation by the common tick (Ixodes Ricinus). A has been registered by the European Chemicals Agency for use as an active ingredient in repellents (product category 19) and pest control (product category 18) since 1 November 2015. Certificates and test reports The repellency test protocol 1/2019-FibroTick from the Centre of Applied Research of the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice determined a reduction in the dwell time of adult female Ixodes ricinus ticks on the fabric compared to an equivalent fabric made of fibre without repellent substance.
