In the mid-1980's, the US Military contacted 3M to develop a better form of protection based on 3M's novel Time Release Technology. The resulting product, Ultrathon™ Lotion, quickly replaced their current DEET product and is still being used today by troops in all areas of the world.Shipping: Free UPS to Lower 48 States, USA only.Returns: None, (personal care product), unless the product is in someway defective. New old stock guaranteed to perform as intended.
**********************************************************************************Additional information as shown on the 3M Ultrathon website:I've noticed that stores sell DEET in concentrations of anywhere from 5% to 100%. How do I know which strength is right for me? There is no one right answer to this question. The various concentrations of DEET are out there to address different needs. As a general rule, higher concentrations of DEET will offer longer-lasting protection, but this effect tends to level out at concentrations of DEET over 30%. Under most circumstances of casual use, 10% - 35% DEET will provide adequate protection. However, there are certain conditions in which using a higher concentration of DEET may be preferable. These circumstances include the following: Conditions in which there is a rapid loss of repellent to the skin due to washoff from rain, perspiration, or high ambient temperatures When traveling to an area where there is a very high density of biting insects (e.g., the Everglades or Alaska) When traveling to areas where insect bites can transmit serious diseases to humans (e.g., malaria, yellow fever, filariasis, viral encephalitus, etc.) I've heard recently about "time-release" DEET repellents. Do these products have any advantages over the other DEET repellents? Nearly all DEET-based repellents on the market contain the DEET chemical simply mixed in a base of lotion, or alcohol. Extended or time-released products, in contrast, package the DEET in a special base that allows it to be released more slowly on to the skin surface. There are several advantages to this technology: These products will give longer-lasting protection, without requiring the use of high concentrations of DEET. They also reduce the number of times that re-application of the product may be necessary. Ultrathon, which is a time-release product, contains 34.34% DEET in a polymer base; it is identical to the repellent used by the U.S. military. How much repellent should I apply? Insect repellent should be applied as a thin layer, covering all the exposed skin surface evenly. There is no need to saturate the skin in order for the repellent to be effective. Do not apply insect repellent over cuts, wounds, or inflamed or eczematous skin.
Is it O.K. to spray DEET on my clothes? DEET can be applied to either exposed skin or clothing. It should not be applied to skin that is covered by clothes. DEET should also not be applied to synthetic fabrics such as rayon or to plastics, because it can damage these products.
