Why Netprotect® is superior

Customer reference list

Dr. Jessie Stone, MD Soft Power Health, Uganda notes the following:  

Netprotect® is made of polyethylene, making them much tougher than polyester or cloth nets. In addition, the insecticide is incorporated in the plastic eliminating the need for retreatment of the nets. This is important because people will not have to handle the insectide used in typical retreatment and worry about its disposal.  These nets will maintain their effectiveness for a lifetime of 5 years, which is twice as other nets on the market. The Netprotect® are dark blue in color which means dirt will not show up as it does on a white net, and people will not have to wash them as frequently. Another important bonus of these nets is that they are slightly rigid compared to the polyester nets which means that air flows through them better so people are cooler sleeping under them. Why is this important? From our experience, the main reason owners do not sleep under their nets is because they get too hot! Our feedback, thus far, shows that people really like the new nets and like sleeping under them. They are a far superior product to any other nets available on the market.

Netprotect^® features a unique LLIN technology

In contrast to some other LLIN technologies on the market, Netprotect^® PE builds on a technology in which the insecticide is completely incorporated into the fibers of the yarn. A small portion of the insecticide is always on the surface of the yarn, ensuring the continuous efficacy of the net. The remaining part is located deep inside the fiber, constituting a depot that through controlled release constantly replaces the insecticide that is removed from the surface. This creates a system that makes Netprotect^® efficient throughout its entire lifetime.
 

Why Netprotect® is superior

Lightweight: Netprotect^® is using a very effective insecticide why the depot needed to ensure long lasting efficacy can be build into thinner yarns. The leighter net is an advantage in transport and distribution.

Strong: polyethylene is a very strong material compared to other textile fibers. This ensures that the net will not tear easily.

Durable: Both in terms of net material and efficacy, which means a maximum number of people, can be helped at minimum cost.

Tailored to the task: Available in different mesh sizes to meet local needs and vector sizes, as well as in a variety of net sizes, shapes and colors.

Convenient: Polyethylene monofilament fibers are very smooth, which means dust does not settle easily on the net. Therefore, less washing is needed.

Affordable: Netprotect^® is cheaper than other LLIN alternatives.
