Hohenstein quality label for new permethrin-free anti-mite treatment

01/02/2017
Tests at research centre the Hohenstein Institute on a new product made by Proneem France show that active ingredients it has used in the textile as an alternative to permethrin “proved highly effective against mites”.

Permethrin is a neurotoxic chemical and, although it rarely affects people with healthy skin, the textile industry has been seeking alternatives. “Now Proneem France has shown that this is entirely possible,” the Hohenstein Institute said in a statement. “In a test in accordance with NF G39-011, the Proneem finish was able to inhibit the growth of a mite population by over 90% and was therefore awarded the Hohenstein quality label.”
