INSECTICIDAL COATING FOR USE ON CELLULOSIC SUBSTRATES

摘要

An insecticidal coating composition is provided for use on cellulosic substrates such as packaging materials to provide protection against insects. The insecticidal coating includes a polyvinyl acetate emulsion; a vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer emulsion; and an insecticide having an LD50 value of between about 14,500 to 15,500 mg/kg. The coating may also include additives such as fillers, defoaming agents, leveling agents, preservatives, and humectants. The insecticidal coating composition may be applied to a variety of cellulosic substrates including corrugated board, linerboard, paper, paper bags, wooden pallets, and paper composite pallets.
