Product Description

General description:

Benzalkonium chloride, also known as alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride and by the trade name Zephiran, is a type of cationic surfactant. It is an organic salt classified as a quaternary ammonium compound. ADBACs have three main categories of use: as a biocide, a cationic surfactant, and a phase transfer agent.

Application & Usage:

Cationic surface-acting agent belonging to the quaternary ammonium group. It has three main categories of use: as a biocide, a cationic surfactant, and phase transfer agent in the chemical industry.

Packing220Kg HDPE Drums

Broad-Spectrum Application

Benzalkonium Chloride is engineered for a variety of uses including surface disinfection, water treatment, and serving as a preservative in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Its strong bactericidal properties ensure reliable sanitation across industrial and institutional environments. The products clear appearance and water solubility simplify integration into diverse processes.

Safe Handling and Storage

This chemical exhibits low dermal toxicity and is non-flammable, non-volatile, and non-corrosive. Proper storage in cool, dry, ventilated areasaway from heat and direct sunlightis essential for maintaining stability. Benzalkonium Chloride is compatible with most materials but should be kept away from strong oxidizers and anionic detergents to avoid adverse reactions.

Environmental and User Benefits

Benzalkonium Chlorides readily biodegradable formulation and low toxicity at normal concentrations contribute to user safety and environmental stewardship. With a 24-month shelf life, the product maintains its effectiveness and potency over extended periods. Its use reduces environmental persistence relative to less degradable disinfectants.

FAQs of Benzalkonium Chloride:

Q: How should Benzalkonium Chloride be stored for optimal stability?

A: Store Benzalkonium Chloride in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Use HDPE drums, IBC tanks, or bulk containers, and ensure the chemical is kept away from strong oxidizers and anionic detergents to maintain stability.

Q: What are the primary applications of Benzalkonium Chloride?

A: Benzalkonium Chloride is used as a disinfectant, sanitizer, preservative, algaecide, and antiseptic. It is commonly applied for surface disinfecting, water treatment, pharmaceutical preservation, and personal care product formulations.

Q: When is Benzalkonium Chloride preferred over other disinfectants?

A: It is preferred when a low-toxicity, non-volatile, non-flammable disinfectant with strong bactericidal activity is required, especially in applications that value rapid action and environmental biodegradability.

Q: Where can Benzalkonium Chloride be effectively used?

A: Benzalkonium Chloride can be used in hospitals, industrial facilities, water treatment plants, and the production of pharmaceuticals or personal care items. Its broad compatibility makes it suitable for both institutional and commercial settings.

Q: What is the process for using Benzalkonium Chloride as a disinfectant?

A: Dilute Benzalkonium Chloride in water according to the recommended guidelines for the intended application. Apply the solution to surfaces or add to water systems, ensuring sufficient contact time for effective disinfection or microbial control.

Q: What are the key benefits of using Benzalkonium Chloride?

A: Benefits include potent bactericidal action, ease of use in liquid form, good water solubility, low dermal toxicity, non-flammability, non-corrosiveness, and ready biodegradability, making it safer for both users and the environment.
