Uses: Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO) is one of the most outstanding synergists to increase pesticide effectiveness. Not only it can obviously increase pesticide's effect, but also it can extend its effect period. Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO) is widely used in agriculture, family health and storage protection. It is the only authorized super-effect insecticide used in food hygiene (food production) by the UN Hygiene Organization. Its dosage is 5-10 times of pyrethroid and this can obviously increase pyrethroids' effect 3 times. If formulate it with cypermethrin, tetramethrin, permethrin, deltamethrin, cyholothrin, and fenalerate, the synergism is remarkable.
