Application | benzalkonium chloride is a kind of cationic surfactant, which belongs to non-oxidizing bactericide and has broad spectrum and high efficiency of sterilization and algicidal ability, it can effectively control the propagation of bacteria and algae in water and the growth of slime, and has a good slime stripping effect and a certain degree of dispersion, penetration, and has a certain degree of oil removal, deodorization and corrosion inhibition. Medical benzalkonium chloride is also used as a fungicide in a Band-Aid. |
bactericide | benzalkonium chloride (benzalkonium chloride) is widely used as a disinfectant. Can change the bacterial plasma membrane permeability, so that the body material extravasation, hinder its metabolism and kill. It has strong effect on Gram-positive bacteria, and has no effect on bacterial spores of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and acid-fast bacillus. Suitable for pre-operative skin Disinfection, mucous membranes and wounds Disinfection, surgical instruments Disinfection. This product is incompatible with soap and other cationic surfactants, citrate, iodide, nitrate, permanganate, salicylate, silver salt, tartrate and alkaloid. With aluminum, fluorescein sodium, hydrogen peroxide, white clay, water lanolin and some sulfonamides incompatibility. |
