₹200.00
Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) is a widely used quaternary ammonium cationic surfactant and antimicrobial compound used in industrial water treatment, sanitation, oil & gas, textile, paper processing, and specialty formulations.
Applications of Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC):
Industrial Water Treatment: Controls bacteria, algae, and fungi in recirculating water systems and pipelines, helping prevent biofouling.
Oil & Gas: Controls sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), helping reduce microbial corrosion, pipeline souring, and H₂S formation.
Surface Disinfection: Used in hard-surface disinfectants and institutional cleaning products for factories, food-processing facilities, and commercial premises.
Textile & Paper: Used as an antimicrobial additive to control microbial growth and slime in selected processing systems.
Specialty Formulations: Helps prevent microbial spoilage in water-based coatings, emulsion paints, and industrial chemical formulations.
