About Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) 80%

Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) 80% is a highly concentrated solution of a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) widely used as adisinfectant, surfactant, and preservative. Heres what you need to know: Key Properties: Chemical Formula: C21H38NClC21H38NCl(primary component, though BAC is a mixture of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides).Appearance: Clear, colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid.Solubility: Highly soluble in water and ethanol.Concentration: 80% is a strong industrial-grade solution (typically diluted before use).Common Uses: Disinfectant & SanitizerKills bacteria, viruses, and fungi (used in hospitals, households, and food processing).Found in surface cleaners, wipes, and hand sanitizers (at diluted levels, e.g., 0.10.5%).PreservativeAdded to cosmetics, eye drops, and nasal sprays (typically at 0.010.1%) to prevent microbial growth.Industrial ApplicationsUsed in water treatment, agriculture (as an algaecide), and as a surfactant in textile/lubricant formulations.Safety & Handling: Toxicity: Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin (80% is highly concentrated!).Skin/Irritation: Can cause severe irritation, burns, or allergic reactions.Dilution: Always dilute to the required concentration (e.g., 0.15% depending on use).Storage: Keep in a tightly sealed container, away from acids and strong oxidizers.
