Schülme Parmetol K20 Biocide – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary mode of action of Schülme Parmetol K20 Biocide?

A: Schülme Parmetol K20 Biocide functions as a broad-spectrum preservative through membrane disruption and interference with essential microbial metabolic processes, effectively controlling bacteria, yeasts, and molds in water-based systems.


Q2: In which types of formulations is Parmetol K20 typically used?

A: It is commonly incorporated into industrial water-based products such as metalworking fluids, latex paints, adhesives, construction slurries, and cleaning concentrates—where long-term microbiological stability is required under varying pH and temperature conditions.


Q3: Is Parmetol K20 compatible with common formulation ingredients?

A: Yes, Parmetol K20 demonstrates good compatibility with anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants, thickeners, corrosion inhibitors, and most common co-biocides—though compatibility testing under actual formulation conditions is recommended prior to full-scale use.


Q4: How should Parmetol K20 be added during manufacturing?

A: It is generally added during the cool-down phase or post-emulsification stage to minimize thermal degradation, and should be dispersed uniformly using low-shear mixing. Pre-dilution in water or a compatible solvent may aid homogenous distribution in viscous systems.


Q5: What storage conditions are recommended for optimal shelf life?

A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, protected from direct sunlight and frost. Under these conditions, the product maintains its efficacy for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
