Technical Description & Product Overview
Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) is a cationic quaternary ammonium compound widely used for its antimicrobial, antiseptic, disinfectant and preservative properties. It is commonly supplied as an aqueous solution and is used in disinfectants, surface cleaners, institutional and industrial cleaning products, water-treatment applications, personal-care formulations and selected antimicrobial products. BKC is particularly effective against many bacteria and some fungi and viruses, depending on concentration and formulation. It is compatible with many nonionic surfactants but is generally incompatible with anionic surfactants, which can reduce its antimicrobial activity. Chemical name: Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride | CAS No.: 8001-54-5 / 63449-41-2 (depending on composition). Suitable grade and concentration should be selected according to the intended application and applicable regulatory requirements.
