ZeroFly Hermetic Storag Bag
ZeroFly Hermetic Storage Bag protects post-harvest grains against internal and external insects
ZeroFly® Hermetic Storage Bag tackles global food insecurity, focusing on post-harvest storage loss. It’s the only storage bag that protects post-harvest grains and seeds against external and internal insect attacks. The innovation offers small and medium size farmers and traders trouble-free storage for up to two years by integrating two technologies: (1) high quality hermetic inner-liner ensures full protection for grain already infested by insects pre-harvest, and (2) slow release insecticide-incorporated outer bag ensures that no insects can attack the stored grain or seed for up to 24 months. The active ingredient in the bag, deltamethrin, is an FAO and WHO approved pesticide for controlling insect pests. The active ingredient is incorporated into the individual yarns and slowly released onto the surface of the material in a controlled and sustained manner. ZeroFly is a highly effective, long-lasting solution that is competitively priced, environmentally friendly and safe to use.
