Abstract

An investigation is reported in which five new synthetic pyrethroids were evaluated in the laboratory for their effectiveness as durable insectproofing agents for wool. Their dyebath-exhaustion behaviour was examined under four sets of conditions. The fastness of the treatments to washing, dry-cleaning, and light was assessed by chemical analysis and assay against insects. Four of the compounds studied, WL–43479 (permethrin 40:60 cis:trans), NRDC–143 (permethrin 25:75 cis:trans), S–3206 (fenpropanate), and S–5602 (fenvalerate), showed sufficient promise to warrant further investigation of their use as industrial insectproofing agents.
