At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we believe in empowering our clients with comprehensive knowledge about the products we supply. Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC), also referred to as Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride (ADBAC), is a highly effective chemical compound with a range of applications. Understanding its properties, safety aspects, and recommended handling procedures is crucial for its optimal and safe utilization.

BKC is characterized by its appearance as a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid, with a distinct alcohol-like odor. It is readily soluble in water and possesses cationic surfactant properties, which contribute to its effectiveness as a biocide, disinfectant, and cleaner. Its pH typically ranges between 5.0 and 8.0, indicating a neutral to slightly alkaline nature in solution.

Regarding safety, while BKC is considered to have low toxicity in the concentrations used in many consumer products, concentrated forms can be irritants. Proper handling procedures are essential. This includes wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, when working with the chemical. Ensuring adequate ventilation in work areas is also recommended. Customers often inquire about the product's safety, and NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. prioritizes providing detailed safety data sheets (SDS) with every supply.

Storage recommendations are also vital. BKC should be stored in sealed original packaging, typically in 200kg PE drums or IBC tanks, in a cool, dry place. A shelf life of 2 years is generally expected if stored correctly. By understanding these properties and adhering to safety guidelines, users can confidently and effectively incorporate BKC into their processes, whether for water treatment, disinfection, or other industrial applications.
