[Mosquito-Repellency Test Method]
A total of 30 test mosquitoes were placed in a breeding cage measuring approximately 25 cm × 25 cm × 25 cm. At 25 ± 2°C and 70%–80% RH, the sample was wrapped around the subject’s arm so that the skin was completely covered with no exposed areas, and the arm was then placed in the cage for 2 minutes.
During this period, the number of mosquitoes landing on the sample surface was recorded and the landing rate was calculated using the formula below. The repellency rate was calculated by comparing the number of landings on the treated sample with the number on the untreated sample.

[Precautions]
* The active ingredient in this product is anionic; avoid contact with cationic substances.
* A curing temperature of 130°C to 150°C for approximately 1 minute is recommended.
* Because this product is water-dispersible, separation may occur during long-term storage. Shake the container thoroughly before use and filter the product through a 50–100 mesh filter cloth.
* Use diluted finishing solution on the day it is prepared.
* This agent contains a small amount of formalin and must not be used on clothing for infants or young children. When applying it at high concentrations, pay close attention to residual formalin levels.
* Before use, carefully evaluate all relevant dye fastness properties, including fluorescent whiteness, color change during processing, lightfastness and abrasion resistance.
