Features Of BASF Protectol KD Fungicide

  1. Broad-spectrum fungicidal activity against key wood-decay and stain fungi, including Aureobasidium, Cladosporium, and Trametes species.

  2. Non-volatile and low water solubility formulation ensures long-term efficacy and minimal leaching in treated substrates.

  3. Compatible with common wood preservative systems and processing additives for co-formulation or sequential treatment.

  4. Stable under alkaline conditions (pH 7–10), supporting integration into cementitious and lime-based building material applications.

  5. Low mammalian toxicity profile (OECD 407/425 compliant), supporting safe industrial handling and regulatory acceptance.

Typical Applications Of BASF Protectol KD Fungicide

  1. Protection of exterior wood products such as decking, cladding, and fencing against fungal discoloration and decay.

  2. Additive in fiber-cement boards and gypsum-based panels to prevent mold growth during storage and service life.

  3. Treatment of cellulose insulation materials (e.g., recycled paper-based insulation) for residential and commercial construction.

  4. Preservative component in exterior-grade plywood and oriented strand board (OSB) manufacturing.

BASF Protectol KD Fungicide – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary mode of action of Protectol KD Fungicide?

A: Protectol KD functions as a broad-spectrum fungistatic agent, primarily inhibiting fungal growth through interference with essential cellular metabolic processes, including membrane integrity and energy metabolism. Its activity is effective against common spoilage fungi such as Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium species.


Q2: In which types of industrial formulations is Protectol KD typically used?

A: Protectol KD is widely applied in water-based industrial systems where microbial control is critical—such as metalworking fluids, latex paints and coatings, adhesives, sealants, and construction chemicals. It is especially valued for its stability in alkaline and moderately acidic aqueous environments.


Q3: Is Protectol KD compatible with common biocides used in multi-component preservation systems?

A: Yes, Protectol KD demonstrates good compatibility with many isothiazolinones, formaldehyde donors, and other non-oxidizing biocides. Synergistic effects are often observed when combined with complementary actives, supporting robust, long-term protection in complex formulations.


Q4: How should Protectol KD be handled to ensure optimal performance and shelf life?

A: Store in original, tightly sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme pH or strong oxidizing agents. For best results, incorporate early in the manufacturing process under controlled mixing conditions.
