Repeleco: indústria de produtos repelentes

Abstract

Brazil has been facing a high number of cases of diseases transmitted by insects due to its tropical climate. With that, Repeleco proposes the development of a repellent industry, with icaridin as the active ingredient, a component little explored by industries, and which has greater repellency efficiency when compared to other repellents available on the market. In this way, gels for adults, children and pregnant women will be produced and sold, in addition to icaridin in its pure form. These goods were developed thinking about economic growth in the area, sustainability and health benefits, such as the use of rose hips in the gel line, which has a regenerative action on the skin and the use of cloves. bringing an odor different from the usual ones, in addition to the antioxidant benefits for the skin. The work seeks to show a brief introduction on the subject, the reasons for the development of the company, the market analysis, description of the productive process of each product, presenting the mass and energy balance calculations, sizing of the chosen equipment, as well as the waste treatment, layout and financial analysis. The daily production forecast is based on 2% of the target public, according to IBGE data. Thus, the focus is on producing 15,000 repellents for kids and 13,000 repellents for adults per day. The company will be based in São Mateus in the state of Espírito Santo, the city with the largest production of black pepper in Brazil, the main raw material for the extraction of icaridin. Regarding the financial analysis, the project proved to be economically viable, since the loan of 41.5 million reais will be paid after 9 years, and the company will manage to remain profitable, and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is greater than than the Minimum Attractive Rate (TMA), which will ensure the economic viability of the project.
