Benzalkonium Chloride, abbreviated as BKC (CAS No.: 8001-54-5 / 61789-71-7), is a common cationic surfactant and non-oxidizing broad-spectrum bactericidal raw material. With stable performance and good adaptability, it is widely used in daily chemicals, medicine, industrial water treatment, public health and other industries, serving as a highly versatile basic fine chemical raw material.

Our Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) is available as a white waxy solid or light yellow colloid. It is highly soluble in water and organic solvents such as ethanol, with a neutral to slightly alkaline aqueous solution that foams when shaken. It features stable physical and chemical properties, resists deterioration at room temperature, and is suitable for conventional production processes—no complex equipment is needed, ensuring easy processing and use.

In terms of core properties, BKC has broad-spectrum bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects, effectively inhibiting and killing most common bacteria. It also offers excellent slime stripping, penetration, dispersion, deoiling and deodorizing capabilities, along with moderate corrosion inhibition. The product has stable purity, controllable impurities, and meets industry standards. Free of additional irritating additives, it is safe and mild when used at conventional compliant concentrations, and compatible with most non-ionic surfactants (avoid soap and anionic detergents), fitting most industrial and daily chemical production systems.

BKC has a wide range of applications. In daily chemical and personal care, it is used as a bacteriostatic preservative and conditioner in hand sanitizers, disinfectants, wet wipes, body washes and skin care products, providing bacteriostasis, preservation, cleaning and stabilization.

In medical and health care, it is used for skin and mucous membrane disinfection, wound cleaning, and as a bacteriostatic auxiliary in eye drops and external preparations, making it a common raw material for medical disinfection and preservation.

In industrial water treatment, it is widely used in circulating water and central air conditioning systems to inhibit bacterial and algae growth, strip pipeline slime, prevent blockage and corrosion, and ensure stable operation of industrial water circulation systems.

In public health and environmental disinfection, it is suitable for surface disinfection of public places and preparation of environmental disinfectants, with strong applicability and simple proportioning. It is also used as a bacteriostatic, antifungal and auxiliary raw material in textile printing and dyeing, papermaking, animal husbandry and other industries, covering rigid demand scenarios.

Our Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) strictly complies with production standards, with stable batch quality and traceable indicators. We provide compliant products according to customer needs, meeting procurement and production requirements for daily chemical formulas, pharmaceutical excipients, industrial water treatment and other scenarios, and offering reliable raw material support for customers in various industries.
