Rodents are ubiquitous creatures notorious for the menace they create. Perhaps one of the most affected and largely ignored victims of rodent menace is the automobile industry. Under the hood components of cars are largely susceptible to rodent damage and when it is not serving as a safe haven for rodents from the cold weather it serves as a nutritious supply of electrical wiring, cabling, tubings and injection molded parts. Rodent species are likely to enter into cars and other vehicles through openings beneath the bonnet and damaging wires and other parts of the engine.
There have been numerous cases where rodents have managed to destroy car wiring and wires under the hood, behind the dash panel etc. Ever tried to revv up you engine in the morning and it simply won’t start? That is when you know that a rodent has been there, done that!!! The whole backside of the dash panel is a mouse paradise. Headliners, seats, carpeting, are all good rat material.
An interesting report cited the damage done to a brand new sports car by rodents. Clearly rodents are not class conscious! The car was being transported by an FCL container from India to the UK. Upon arrival, when the logistic company opened the container door, they found two dead decomposed rat on the container floor and the wires in the car engines etc are all damaged. Rodents biting threw wires and cables are also responsible for car fires. The damages range from hundreds to thousands of dollars not to mention that sometimes these damages are not covered by insurance.
Against this background there is a need to address rodent damage in vehicles in an effective and sustainable manner. Conventional methods involve the use of traditional remedies like moth balls or natural repellent baits. But these are ineffective in their scope to address the problems as the rodents can easily make their way around these contraptions and gnaw away to glory. What is required is an intrinsic solution that can be used to address the problems by direct incorporation in the electrical wiring and injection molded parts.
Combirepel™ is an innovative product designed and developed for automobile industry and individual car users. The products are available in the form of a masterbatch which can be incorporated within wires and cables and polymeric materials right at the outset via extrusion thus making them inherently rodent proof. They have a long life span thus ensuring effective rodent repellence over a period of as high as 5-10 years.
Ancillary precautions can be taken by also using topical coating based formulations ofCombirepel™ for existing cars with wires and cables. These have a life span of as high as upto a year depending on the adhesive life span used however it renders the same level of protection that the masterbatch approach gives for a reduced life span. The plastic seats can also be extruded withCombirepel™ or laminated with thin films comprising ofCombirepel™.
It is also available in lacquer and liquid form and can be easily coated onto an application to repel the rodents. The best part about this product is that it works on the mechanism of repellence and does not kill the target species. i.e. rodents, thus being in accordance with the need of the century, Sustainability and green chemistry.
