If water based Kilz is used on OSB or MDF it will cause the surface to swell unevenly due to absorbing water from the Kilz sealer. The name is from the chemicals that kill or retard mildew spores. The oil based Kilz is very irritating to the eyes and nose if used in a closed space. Use outside or with lots of ventilation and proper paint mask filters.

Can't say that I know about that stuff. Sounds like a cross between the normal Jotun filler and knot sealer, would that be about right? Maybe its the stuff we call 'beis' in Norway and translates to stain using the dictionary, thats an oil based mildew killer that smells funny and is opaque.
I used some two component top coat on chipboard once and that made it very water resistant, might be an idea to use on top of a oil based primer. I love two component stuff, It's hard as hell and resists about everything and is very glossy.
