Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) is a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) that functions as a broad-spectrum disinfectant, biocide, and surfactant. Known for its high efficacy, low toxicity, and biodegradability, BKC provides powerful antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses while remaining safe for use in industrial, institutional, and household formulations.

It is widely used in disinfectants, sanitizers, algaecides, and cleaning products, offering excellent stability and compatibility across diverse pH and formulation conditions.

Key Features & Benefits
