MAGNet®LN, a flagship product of V.K.A. Polymers, is a revolutionary long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) designed to combat malaria vector. With advanced controlled release technology, unparalleled durability, and WHO prequalification, MAGNet®LN represents the gold standard in vector control.
Constructed with 150 denier HDPE yarn, MAGNet®LN withstands up to 400 kPa bursting strength, ensuring longevity of up to 5 years.
In-house testing facilities for both physical and chemical properties, and robust quality management in each and every stage of manufacturing.
Ensures the insecticide is replenished on the surface, maintaining bioefficacy even after 20 washes.
The insecticidal effect remains effective for a longer duration, with over 95% knockdown and more than 80% functional mortality even after 20 washes.
MAGNet® LN is a ready-to-use LLIN with a single-pyrethroid formulation that fully regenerates within 24 hours after washing, without the need for additional heat treatment to enhance regeneration.

| Withstands Harsh Washing | MAGNet®LN is designed to endure rigorous washing methods, including those common in rural areas. With active ingredients (A.I.) impregnated into the fiber rather than being surface-bound, it ensures minimal loss of A.I. during washing, providing prolonged protection and reducing environmental impact. |
| Durability and Long Life | Engineered for high performance, MAGNet®LN offers exceptional durability and a long service life of up to 5 years, even in challenging conditions. |
| Extra Safe for All Users | The A.I. is incorporated within the fiber, making it safer for children and minimizing surface exposure. This advanced design enhances safety without compromising effectiveness. |
| Eco-Friendly | By embedding the A.I. into the fiber, MAGNet®LN minimizes hazardous material runoff, ensuring sustainable and environmentally friendly vector control. |
| WHO Prequalified | Recognized globally for its quality, safety, and efficacy, MAGNet®LN meets the highest international standards as a WHO prequalified product. |
MAGNet®LN has been rigorously tested under field and laboratory conditions to ensure its efficacy, safety, and durability. Its unmatched performance has made it a preferred choice for global health initiatives, endorsed by
