Karpathia®IXO anti-tick gloves

Product detailed description

Do you go outdoors often? Do you work in the forest? Do you look after a garden? Karpathia® IXO gloves are just for you. Karpathia® IXO gloves are made of a special Slovak Prolen®IXO fibre, which reduces the retention (dwell time) of the common tick (Ixodes Ricinus L.) on the fabric. Composition: 95% polypropylene Prolen®IXO (treated with repellent, reducing the possibility of infestation by ticks IXODES Ricinus L., based on natural substances), 5% elastane 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 infested by IXODES Ricinus L. - the tick most commonly 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. 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) of the common tick (Ixodes Ricinus L.) on the fabric and has been registered by the European Chemicals Agency for use as an active substance in repellents (product category 19) and pest control (product category 18) since 1.11.2015. Certificates and test reports The repellency test report 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.
