What kind of nets do Africans need?

Super mosquito proof!

How can we achieve super mosquito protection?

One day in May of this year, a Shaoxing boss came to the office of Hu Keqin, chairman of Shaoxing Textile Science and technology center with this problem.

Hu Keqin has been used to this kind of scene.

His office has become the consulting room of Keqiao and even the whole Shaoxing business owners.

According to conservative estimates, local textile enterprises with at least 2/3 above have ties with them.

The boss here has just received a huge order from the United Nations, and the other party's request is only one, that is, super mosquito control, because these nets are to be sent to Africa.

Although UNICEF pays tens of millions of nets a year, there are billions of insecticide treated nets in African countries.

These nets are mainly used to prevent malaria (malaria is pmitted by mosquitoes carrying malaria parasites and is one of the main health killer of Africans).

According to WHO statistics, about 1 million people worldwide die from malaria each year, most of them live in sub Saharan Africa.

An expert from Shaoxing Textile Science and technology center has obtained the national invention patent of "microcapsule preparation".

Microcapsules are small, small capsules, much thinner than their hair.

"Put the mosquito repellent perfume in the mosquito net and let the mosquito perfume slowly evaporate. The mosquito repellent effect will be very good."

The idea is good, but it is not easy to study.

First of all, because the mosquito nets need high temperature treatment in the later stage, the melting point of this capsule must be very high.

In addition, in addition to this "micro" requirement, microcapsules must also ensure that they are not cracked, harmless to humans, and slow to release.

By the end of this year, the mosquito nets will be put into operation at a price of about 2 times that of the ordinary mosquito nets.

In the future, microencapsulation can not only be used for mosquito repellent but also for odor control on socks, or for lavender flavor fiber, cooling oil fiber and other practical fibers.

Shaoxing Textile Science and technology center is making money by selling technology. In 2007, its technology consulting fee exceeded 6 million 500 thousand, so far this year.
