Benzalkonium-63449-41-2

Properties

Benzalkonium chloride is a cationic surfactant, which is a non oxidizing bactericide. It has broad-spectrum and efficient bactericidal and algal killing ability, can effectively control the reproduction of bacteria and algae and the growth of slime in water, and has good slime stripping effect, certain dispersion and permeability, as well as certain degreasing, deodorization and corrosion inhibition.

Easily soluble in ethanol and acetone. Although the dissolution rate in water is slow, aqueous solutions are easier to treat and are still preferred. The aqueous solution should be neutral to slightly alkaline, with a color ranging from colorless to light yellow. When the aqueous solution is shaken, it will produce foam. In the concentrated solution, it has bitter taste and light almond taste.

Characteristics

This product is a white waxy solid or a yellow colloidal body. The aqueous solution shows neutral or weakly alkaline reaction, which produces a large amount of foam when shaking.

This product is highly soluble in water or ethanol, but slightly soluble in ether.
