First In Class, Next Generation, Dual Active LLIN
First In Class, Next Generation, Dual Active LLIN
Royal Guard® is the first commercially available LLIN of its kind that is engineered to provide vector control through both the personal protection of traditional mosquito knockdown and mortality, as well as a reduction in fecundity of any mosquitoes that manage to survive exposure to the products pyrethroid active ingredient. The intended benefit of the insect growth regulator, Pyriproxyfen, is to reduce the fecundity of adult female mosquitoes and therefore yield an overall reduction in the vector population by inhibiting egg laying, larval-pupal transformation and the emergence of functioning young adult mosquitos.
Royal Guard® is highly effective and does not require re-treatment throughout its useful service life of three or more years. Royal Guard® is made from high-density polyethylene, which gives it superior strength, durability, wash resistance and personal protection for the bed net user.
Royal Guard® incorporates state of the art master batch technology from Clariant, one of the world’s leading specialty chemical companies.
Disease Control Technologies (DCT) Royal Guard ® LLIN products are manufactured in an ISO 9001:2015 accredited facility according to JMPS specification 454+715/LN (2019). This specification results in a strong, durable, wash resistant LLIN that provides ultra high performance and industry leading biological efficacy.
Warp-knit fabric construction is an optimal 132 holes per square inch or 20 holes per cm² (ISO 7211/2: 1984) for both superior strength, air flow and personal protection.
DCT’s Royal Guard® LLIN products are produced in ISO 9001:2015 certified production facilities using proprietary materials and manufacturing technology. Production of Royal Guard® LLIN products have been optimized so that superior performing products can be offered to the market at fair and affordable prices.
