Geraniol (CAS No.: 106-24-1)
The biocide agent
In the right concentration, geraniol helps to keep away undesirable animals or in the case of insects and arachnids eliminate them. Dependent upon the concentration and method of application a wide spectrum of relevant pests and vermin can therefore be successfully controlled without using proven risky substances that accumulate in living areas and turn out to be a long term problem.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has generally recognized geraniol as safe and therefore exempt from the obligatory registration for the use of biocides. In Europe it is subject to a comprehensive examination by EU and national authorities.
As a responsible producer and distributor Fulltec AG takes part directly in the notification procedures and is therefore an »Authorized/Article 95 Source« for the biocide agent geraniol and geraniol-based finished and half-finished products (Premixes).
In 2017 the effectiveness of Fulltec’s own »representative formulas« were certified in a series of comprehensive studies by well-known international test institutes as well as global research and test teams. Detailed information of the tests and their results can be requested at office@fulltec.at
Geraniol
What Qualities are there?
notification by
Fulltec
Fulltec AG realized very early the potential of geraniol as a repellent and insecticide and takes an active part in the EU notification process of biocide agents. As an RP participant Fulltec AG can be found in the relative lists of ECHA as a substance and product supplier.
Customers of Fulltec therefore profit from the vast experience in the targeted use of the agent, as well as the possible access to data for product registration in the near future. As synthetic and natural geraniol are considered technically equivalent both qualities are defended by Fulltec within the framework of active agent notification.
