Burlington insect repellent technology expands into Canada

18/02/2020
After what the company has called a complicated process to receive government approval, Burlington has expanded the licensing of its insect repellent technology into Canada. Mark’s, a Canadian apparel and workwear retailer, is the first licensee and retailer to carry garments that utilise No Fly Zone.  

The technology is a permethrin-based chemistry applied directly to the fabric or other material. It works as a contact repellent affecting the insect's nervous system, causing them to fly or crawl away before a bite can occur. 

According to Nelson Bebo, VP of Burlington performance fabrics, “it can be matrixed with other performance technologies such as moisture wicking, UPF protection and odor neutralising action”.
