FUMIGANTS

Profume ®

ProFume® is a cylinderised gas fumigant used to control all insect life stages in structures that store, process, and transport commodities. Its active ingredient, Sulfuryl Fluoride, is non-ozone-depleting. Sulfuryl Fluoride disrupts insect energy production, leading to rapid and complete elimination. This unique mode of action prevents cross- resistance with other insecticides.

Efficacy Validated by Rigorous Scientific Testing

KYCZ delivers effective fumigation solutions validated by rigorous scientific testing. In recent trials with ProFume® (Sulfuryl Fluoride), we achieved 100% mortality of target pests in post-harvest coffee and cocoa beans.

Coffee Beans

A Biotest analysis confirmed complete eradication of adult coffee bean weevils and mealworm larvae within 17 hours.

Cocoa Beans

Achieved ideal gas concentration in cocoa bean stacks within just 28 minutes, ensuring thorough pest control.

These results highlight ProFume® as a reliable solution for maintaining the quality and safety of your commodities post-harvest.

Key Benefits for Your Business

Quality assurance managers in food processing and manufacturing need dependable treatments to protect facilities and food-grade products. Incorporating ProFume® into your pest management plan ensures complete pest elimination without compromise.

Fumigating with ProFume® is a one-and-done solution that delivers proven efficacy and consistent results.
