Insect Repellent IR3535®
 IR3535®
“Shield yourself against insects – with
IR3535®.” Isn't this a beating statement to
convince every consumer? What makes it so
appealing? Ticks, lice, mosquitoes, and other
insects that carry infection are more than a
nuisance – they’re often vectors of disease.
What’s more, dangerous insects are spreading
to new geographic areas.

We understand how important it is to offer your customers the right protection as well as the
responsibility this task brings. Insect repellents used on skin and hair need to be safe without
compromising effectiveness. When you choose IR3535® from Merck, you’ll benefit from our
30-year track record and vast scientific documentation. We’ve worked closely with institutes
around the world to demonstrate how well IR3535® repels a wide range of insects and ticks.
Bio-clinical research proved and tested headlice prevention. IR3535® has an excellent
toxicological profile; in fact, it’s been approved by the WHO as a pesticide and by the US-EPA
as a “biopesticide.”

With IR3535® in your repellent products, you can offer your customers a skin-friendly, and safe
shield that effectively wards off insects and ticks.

Highly stable and simple to formulate, IR3535® is an odorless liquid that’s perfectly suited for
sprays, aerosols, roll-ons, powders, aqueous alcoholic lotions, gels, and creams (both O/W and
W/O emulsions). Ask your local sales representative for details.

IR3535®: The all-around repellent solution that’s tough on insects and gentle on skin.
