Bed mites which are more frequently encountered in such regions as hotels, hostels and care houses where movements are intense with the increase of mobile population feed on human blood without causing pain. The fluid which they secrete during their feeding lasting for about 15 minutes causes redness on the skin and leads to itchness. Nesting between stitches and on the edges of furniture such as bed, sofa and armchair, bed mites are known to nest in the dark and hidden parts of textile, paper or wooden materials. Coats provides solution to this severe problem through specially processed yarn and zip with the Insectiban technology. Stitch yarns and zips processed with a chemical agent preventing nesting of mites inhibit mites in connection and stitch parts.
Obtained out of natural and durable plant essences and oils, Coats Insectiban does not give harm to human beings and pets. It can be applied to sewing yarns of all types, thickness and colour. It is seen that colour fastness of the technology tested in French T.E.C. Laboratories is equivalent to high standards of Coat’s sewing yarns. Usage areas of the product include beds, bed auxiliary materials, furniture coating, luggage, special home furniture, hotels, hostels, hospitals, military yards and jails.
