Fineotex Chemical Limited (FCL), a leading Indian multinational specialty performance chemical manufacturer, has achieved a significant milestone with the approval of its revolutionary mosquito control solution, AquaStrike Premium, by the Central Insecticide Board under the Insecticides Act, 1968. The approval marks a major step for Fineotex in its mission to provide innovative, eco-friendly solutions to public health challenges in India.
AquaStrike Premium is based on Azadirachtin, a biotechnology-based formulation developed by Fineotex’s wholly owned subsidiary, FSPL Private Limited. This product has undergone rigorous testing in WHO-approved laboratories and holds multiple international certifications, including recognition from the Ministry of Health in Malaysia and a Non-Pesticide classification by the Malaysian Pesticide Board. It has also received approval from Singapore’s Public Utility Board, demonstrating its global credibility and effectiveness.
The product, designed and developed in Malaysia with European design engineering, presents a non-toxic, eco-friendly alternative to conventional mosquito control methods. Unlike traditional insecticides that require gaseous spraying, AquaStrike Premium is an odorless and invisible liquid solution that is sprinkled onto water surfaces, where it eliminates mosquito larvae without contaminating the water quality. This innovative formulation not only combats mosquito-borne diseases but also helps in water conservation, providing a cost-effective and sustainable solution for tackling mosquito problems.
According to Sanjay Tibrewala, the Executive Director of Fineotex Chemical Limited, the approval of AquaStrike Premium is a major achievement for the company as it strives to contribute to public health and environmental sustainability. He emphasized that AquaStrike Premium is a breakthrough innovation that addresses mosquito control while ensuring the safety of the environment. The company remains committed to introducing advanced, eco-friendly technologies to India and making a positive impact on public health and water conservation efforts.
This development comes at a critical time as the need for sustainable solutions to control vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue continues to grow in India. Fineotex plans to work closely with government agencies, NGOs, and healthcare organizations to implement large-scale mosquito control programs. The approval of AquaStrike Premium sets the stage for its use in various regions across India, offering a safer, more sustainable alternative to traditional mosquito control methods.
With its commitment to sustainability and innovation, Fineotex Chemical Limited continues to be at the forefront of delivering environmentally responsible and technology-driven solutions to India's public health needs. The company’s success in gaining government approval for AquaStrike Premium is a testament to its dedication to improving public health outcomes while protecting the environment.
