Application
Oil & Gas
Pipeline corrosion inhibitor. Prevents formation of sulphurous gases. De-emulsifier/sludge breaker for enhanced oil extraction.
Manufacture of Detergent-Sanitizers
Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) safely incorporates both Microbicidal & Detergency Properties into Products for Soil Penetration & Disinfection, which makes it ideal for Formulation of Hygiene Products for Personal Hygiene, Hospital, Livestock and Food & Dairy use. Benzalkonium Chloride has powerful potentiating activity in combination with other anti-microbial agents.
Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics
Safety Factor of Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) leads to use in Various Topical and Ocular Products as a Preservative and to optimize Emolliency and Substantivity
Food & Beverage Industry
On account of its non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-tainting, non-staining characteristics, Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) is widely used in the Formulation of Cleaner-Sanitizers for:
Dairy Industry
Slaughter Houses
Breweries
Fisheries
Bottling Plants
Catering Industry
Food Storage Tanks
Milk Storage Tanks
Cold Storage plants
Polymer & Coatings
Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) is widely used as an Anti-Static, Emulsifier & Preservative in the Coatings Industry (Paints, Wood Treatment, Electronics, etc.)
Chemical Industry
Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) has diverse applications in the Chemical Industry as Precipitant, Phase Transfer Catalyst, Emulsifier/De-Emulsifier, etc.
Water Treatment
Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) is used in Water & Effluent Treatment Formulations and Algaecides for Swimming Pools
Aquaculture
Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) reduces the requirement of harmful Antibiotics in Aquaculture through improved hygiene. Used for Water Treatment, General Site Disinfection, Fish Parasite Removal, Prevention of Infectious Disease In Fish & Shellfish.
Timber Protection
Global environmental concern has led to increasing replacement of chlorinated biocides with safer, biodegradable Benzalkonium Chloride in Wood Protection. Benzalkonium displays excellent fungicidal and algaecidal properties, and is highly effective against other organisms particularly in combination formulations.
