2.5 Other formulations

2.5.1 Formulations prepared as devices

2.5.1.1 Aerosol dispenser (AE)

A sealed canned formulation that sprays small liquid beads or mist droplets containing medicinal liquid containing active ingredients under the action of the propellant.

2.5.1.2 Vaporizing mat (MV)

A sheet-shaped formulation that uses paper or other carriers as a carrier, heating in the supporting heater to volatilize the active ingredients.

2.5.1.3 Liquid vaporizer (LV)

A homogeneous liquid formulation in which the active ingredients are volatilized by heating the core rod under the cooperation of a medicine bottle and a matching heater.

2.5.1.4 Proof mat (PM)

A sheet-shaped or granular formulation that uses synthetic resin or other as a carrier to evaporate the active ingredients under the action of the wind of a supporting fan.

2.5.2 Volatile formulations

2.5.2.1 Gas (GA)

A gas formulation that active ingredients are compressed in a pressure-resistant container.

2.5.2.1. gas generating product (GE): A gas formulation that uses chemical reaction to produce active ingredients.

2.5.2.2 Dispensor (DR)

A formulation that uses carriers to release active ingredients for regulating insect behavior.

2.5.3 Smoke formulations

2.5.3.1 Smoke generator (FU)

A solid formulation that releases active ingredients by igniting fumes (or thermal energy generated by chemical reactions).

2.5.3.2 Mosquito coil (MC)

A spiral disc formulation that, after ignition (smoke), no open flame is generated, and the active ingredients are released into the space through the smoke.

2.5.4 Bait formulations

2.5.4.1 Bait (ready for use) (RB)
