India’s Renofluthrin: The Ultimate Mosquito Repellent Innovation

Renofluthrin

India has achieved a breakthrough in household insecticides with Renofluthrin, the nation's first fully developed and patented molecule, creating the most effective liquid vapouriser formulation for mosquito control. It makes the most efficacious liquid vapouriser formulation against mosquitoes. This breakthrough promises to revolutionize mosquito control, providing a solution that is 2x more effective and fast acting compared to any other registered formulation in the liquid vapouriser format available in India. Renofluthrin is the first molecule of its kind for mosquito repellency to be entirely developed in India, highlighting the country's advancing capabilities in scientific research and development.


Formulations containing Renofluthrin have been proven to be 2X more effective formulation against mosquitoes in liquid vapouriser format compared to other available products. They also offer an instant knock-down effect and a residual action lasting up to two hours. This molecule is effective against common mosquito species, including Anopheles, Aedes, and Culex, tackling both malaria and dengue-carrying mosquitoes.


Rigorous testing by independent and government-approved labs ensures that Renofluthrin is safe for use. It has been approved by the Central Insecticide Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC) and shown not to cause irritation to eyes, nose, or skin.

Formulations with Renofluthrin have been proven to be twice more effective against mosquitoes in liquid vapouriser format compared to other existing products. They offer instant action against mosquitoes and a residual action lasting up to two hours. This molecule is effective against common mosquito species, including Anopheles, Aedes, and Culex, combating both malaria and dengue-carrying mosquitoes.

Dr. Samir Dalwai, a Prominent Developmental Pediatrician &Senior Member, Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP), said, "Mosquito-borne diseases like malaria and dengue illnesses not only cause severe health issues but also pose significant economic burdens. Therefore, it's imperative to have highly effective protection against mosquitoes. When prescribing solutions to combat these diseases, I prioritize efficacy, safety, and long-term reliability. The introduction of new molecule like Renofluthrin, will only help to curb mosquito-borne diseases.”

Developed over a decade of research by Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) and its partner Shogun Organics Ltd, Renofluthrin represents a major leap forward in the fight against mosquitoes. GCPL holds exclusive usage rights for this molecule till medium term, and it is currently featured in their Goodknight product range, including Goodknight Flash liquid vapouriser, coils, and incense sticks.

Dr. Samir Dalwai, further added, “Renofluthrin offers broad-spectrum efficacy, targeting common mosquito species responsible for malaria and dengue. Its instant knock-down effectand residual protection make it a formidable tool in reducing mosquito populations and, consequently, the transmission of these diseases.”

In the ongoing fight against mosquitoes, developing new molecules every 10 to 15 years is essential. Over time, existing repellent formulations require updates, leading consumers to sometimes use unregistered and unsafe alternatives. Renofluthrin reinforces GCPL's dedication to offering safe, effective, and high-quality products made in India. This innovation highlights India's scientific capabilities and ensures households have access to advanced and reliable mosquito repellent solutions. Renofluthrin is poised to transform mosquito control in India, offering enhanced protection and peace of mind for consumers.
