Abstract
Biological tests show that applications of 0.25% triphenyltin chloride to wool in a boiling dyebath conferred a mothproof effect that was fast to laundering, dry-cleaning, and sunlight. The general textile properties of treated wool were unimpaired. Clothes-moth and carpet-beetle larvae were both controlled, which indicated that, from the entomological viewpoint, the organotin may be useful for commercial mothproofing applications.Keywords
