Key Features & Benefits

• Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Excellent killing and inhibitory effects against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, yeast, and algae.

• Cationic Surfactant Properties: Combines biocidal activity with cleaning, wetting, emulsifying, and anti-static functions.

• Low Toxicity & Safety: Relatively safe for humans and the environment at recommended use concentrations, making it ideal for many consumer products.

• Stable Performance: Remains active over a wide pH range and is not significantly affected by hard water.

• Versatility: Functions as a disinfectant, biocide, algaecide, preservative, mildew-proofing agent, anti-static agent, emulsifier, and phase-transfer catalyst.

Product Information

Product Description

Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC), CAS No. 8001-54-5, is a leading cationic surfactant belonging to the quaternary ammonium compound family. It is renowned as a broad-spectrum, high-efficiency biocide, disinfectant, and preservative, with extensive applications in healthcare, public sanitation, industrial water treatment, personal care, and food processing.

The unique efficacy of BKC stems from its molecular structure, which combines a long-chain hydrophobic alkyl group with a positively charged hydrophilic group. This enables it to act as a powerful surfactant, adsorbing onto and disrupting the negatively charged cell membranes of bacteria, fungi, algae, and other microorganisms, leading to rapid and lasting sterilization. We supply high-quality BKC solutions in various concentrations to precisely meet your requirements across different applications.
