Benzalkonium Chloride 50%/BKC
Ases Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) 50% Liquid
Ases Benzalkonium Chloride 50% is a high-purity, nitrogenous cationic surface-acting agent belonging to the prestigious quaternary ammonium group. Engineered for versatility, this 3rd-generation QUAT serves as a cornerstone in the chemical industry, acting as a potent biocide, cationic surfactant, and phase transfer agent.
Advanced Formulation & Stability
Unlike many industrial chemicals, our BKC 50% is specifically designed to remain stable and effective in extreme conditions. It is non-freezing, maintaining its liquid status even under very low temperatures, ensuring easy handling and pourability year-round. While it is readily soluble in ethanol and acetone, its aqueous form is preferred for ease of use in water-based formulations.
Triple-Action Protection
Ases BKC 50% is a safe, rapid-acting solution that provides broad-spectrum defense: Bactericide: Rapidly neutralizes harmful bacteria on surfaces and in liquid solutions
Algaecide: Essential for water treatment, ponds, and industrial cooling systems to prevent algae blooms.
Fungicide: Prevents the growth of mold, yeast, and fungi in raw materials and finished products.
Versatile Applications
-
Cosmetic & DIY Personal Care: A vital ingredient for conditioning hair care (shampoo/conditioner), soap making, and serum formulation. It provides both antimicrobial protection and anti-static properties.
-
Industrial & Oil Field: Used as a high-performance oil antiseptic and for large-scale pond disinfection.
-
Chemical Processing: Functions as a reliable phase transfer agent in complex chemical syntheses.
Sensory & Physical Characteristics
-
Appearance: A clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid.
-
Solubility: Slowly soluble in water; creates a stable, neutral to slightly alkaline solution.
-
Experience: Features a faint, almond-like odor (detectable in concentrate) and foams profusely when shaken, indicating its powerful surface-active properties.### Usage & Safety Note
As a cationic surfactant, this product should not be mixed with anionic surfactants (such as SLS or SLES) to prevent neutralization. Always handle the 50% concentrate with care, using appropriate PPE, and dilute according to your specific formulation requirements.
