Description
Rodents are pests that can cause significant damage to plastics products with which they come in contact and sometimes pose severe risks of major accidents such as electric short circuits in chewed wires resulting in the fire. They also cause a lot of damage to food grains by chewing and damaging the protective plastic packaging. If it’s a telecommunication cable, it can lead to loss of signal strength, delay and data loss.
Rodents have a compulsive need to chew or “gnaw” at certain surfaces to keep their sharp incisors always polished else they would damage their jaws and mouth.
Our Anti rodent masterbatches are based on a formulation of various non – toxic repellent chemicals (unlike copper naphthenate which kills) which do not kill rodents but dissuade them. They contain a combination of highly odoriferous and bitter compounds whose smell is highly unliked by rodents or give them an olfactory recall of a predator in the vicinity inducing them to escape. Further, they also contain highly bitter compounds which would deter them to chew the plastic surface again. Rodent species pass on such unpleasant experiences to their progeny and thus gradually they would not attack plastics added with Rodent repellent masterbatches.
Typical applications are wire and cables, pipes and ducts, warning tapes, geomembranes, auto components, technical textiles used for protecting food grains, etc.
