Avient and IVCC created a new medium scale masterbatch production laboratory in China to support research and development into non-registered novel active ingredients for incorporation into long lasting treated nets. The pioneering facility supplies a platform to scale-up the formulation development and accelerate the process of launching innovative long lasting treated nets for protection against malaria together with innovation partners. The novel insecticides in development are formulated tightly into the masterbatch, allowing best bio-efficiency performance with a permanent but slow release to the surface—just enough to kill any mosquito by contact.
