N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide DEET CAS 134-62-3 Raw Material

Product Description:

N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide, widely known as DEET, with the CAS number 134-62-3, is an essential chemical in the production of insect repellents. DEET is highly effective in preventing bites from various insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas, by disrupting their ability to detect the scent of humans. This repellent works by blocking the receptors in insects that identify chemical cues like carbon dioxide and body odors. DEET is commonly used in a variety of personal care products, such as sprays, lotions, and wipes, and is also applied to clothing and outdoor gear to provide extended protection. Its effectiveness makes it a vital component in protecting against diseases transmitted by insects, such as malaria and Zika virus. Beyond personal use, DEET is also utilized in military and industrial contexts to ensure the safety and comfort of personnel in insect-prone environments. Public health campaigns frequently distribute DEET-based products to reduce the incidence of vector-borne diseases. With a long-standing reputation for reliability and safety, DEET continues to be a preferred choice for insect repellent solutions.

Function:

The primary function of N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) is as an insect repellent. Its main role is to prevent biting insects, such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and flies, from detecting and landing on the skin of humans or animals. DEET achieves this by interfering with the insect's olfactory receptors, which are responsible for detecting the chemical cues emitted by humans, such as carbon dioxide and body odor.

By masking or confusing these signals, DEET reduces the likelihood of insects landing on the treated surface and biting, thus providing protection against insect bites and the potential transmission of insect-borne diseases. DEET is not an insecticide, meaning it does not kill insects but rather repels them, making it a safer option for use on skin and clothing. This function makes DEET an essential component in various insect repellent formulations, offering reliable protection in both recreational and occupational settings.
