About Benzalkonium Chloride 50% SQ 500ml

Benzalkonium Chloride 50% is a concentrated solution of a quaternary ammonium compound used as a cationic surfactant and antimicrobial ingredient. It is commonly used in disinfectant formulations, sanitizing products, and selected industrial and laboratory applications. Benzalkonium chloride acts by disrupting microbial cell membranes, helping control susceptible microorganisms under appropriate conditions. The 50% concentration indicates the nominal concentration of the supplied formulation; the exact composition and assay should be confirmed from the manufacturers label or Certificate of Analysis. The solution is generally clear to pale yellow and may have a characteristic mild odour. It is also used as a preservative in certain formulations where permitted and suitable. The product should be handled with appropriate protective equipment, as concentrated solutions may irritate or damage the eyes and skin. Avoid mixing it with incompatible substances, particularly anionic surfactants. Store in a tightly closed, labelled container and follow the manufacturers Safety Data Sheet for handling, storage, and disposal requirements.
