CAS 119515-38-7: Icaridin
Description:Icaridin, also known as Picaridin, is a synthetic compound primarily used as an insect repellent. It is characterized by its effectiveness against a wide range of biting insects, including mosquitoes and ticks, making it a popular choice for outdoor activities. Icaridin is known for its low toxicity to humans and animals, which contributes to its safety profile compared to some traditional repellents like DEET. The substance is colorless and has a mild odor, enhancing its user-friendliness. It functions by interfering with the insect's ability to detect human scent, thus preventing bites. Icaridin is stable in various environmental conditions and is often formulated in lotions, sprays, and wipes for easy application. Its efficacy can last for several hours, depending on the formulation and concentration. Additionally, Icaridin is water-resistant, making it suitable for use in humid or wet conditions. Overall, its favorable characteristics make Icaridin a widely accepted alternative in personal insect protection.
