Benzalkonium chloride 50% 100 g

Quaternary Ammonium Compound Behind Fast-Acting Sanitizing Formulas

Benzalkonium chloride 50% in a 100 g pack is a concentrated cationic surfactant solution that belongs to the Biocides category and is valued for its ability to quickly suppress bacteria, fungi and a range of enveloped viruses. This compact size suits home workshops and small trial batches, letting formulators test a hand sanitizer, surface spray or preservative system for a cosmetic emulsion before scaling up to larger volumes.

The largest global demand for benzalkonium chloride comes from disinfectant and sanitizer manufacturing - hospitals, food processing plants, cleaning companies and household chemical brands rely on it as the primary active ingredient in surface disinfectants and hand cleansing agents. The second major field is personal care, where the compound functions as a preservative in shampoos, conditioners, contact lens solutions and cleansing creams, breaking down microbial cell membranes to keep formulas stable. It is also widely used in agriculture and veterinary settings for equipment disinfection, in textile finishing as an antimicrobial treatment, and in pool and spa maintenance products.

Typical usage levels range from 0.01% to 0.1% when the compound acts as a cosmetic preservative, and from 0.05% to 0.2% in disinfecting solutions and hand sanitizers. It should be added at the final stage of formulation, at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to protect the active molecules from degradation. The substance dissolves readily in water and alcohols and remains stable across a wide pH range, making it easy to combine with other functional additives. Store the concentrate in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, in a cool dry place.

When formulating complex disinfectant or sanitizing solutions, technologists often add electrolyte salts to fine-tune the ionic balance and stability of the working solution - for this purpose Magnesium chloride is commonly used, along with Potassium chloride tech., Germany or its equivalent Potassium chloride tech., Holland, both offering flexibility depending on the specific production requirement. Benzalkonium chloride pairs well with nonionic surfactants, glycerin, fragrances and most thickeners, but should not be combined with anionic surfactants or soap, since this leads to mutual neutralization of activity.
