Products Description of Benzalkonium Chloride CAS#63449-41-2
Benzalkonium chloride is a cationic surfactant and non-oxidizing biocide with broad-spectrum and high-efficiency antibacterial and algicidal properties. It effectively inhibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria, algae, and slime in water systems, while providing excellent slime removal, dispersion, and penetration capabilities. It also exhibits certain degreasing, deodorizing, and corrosion inhibition effects.
With low toxicity, no cumulative toxicity, excellent water solubility, and stable performance unaffected by water hardness, benzalkonium chloride is widely used in circulating cooling water treatment systems across industries such as petroleum, chemical, power generation, and textiles. It is especially effective against sulfate-reducing bacteria.
In the textile printing and dyeing industry, benzalkonium chloride can be applied as a bactericide, mildew inhibitor, softener, antistatic agent, emulsifier, and conditioner. It is also used as a preservative and antifungal agent in wet wipe formulations.

Product Application of Benzalkonium Chloride CAS#63449-41-2
Benzalkonium chloride, also referred to as dimethylbenzylalkylammonium chloride, is a cationic surfactant featuring outstanding antimicrobial properties.
As a broad‑spectrum, high‑efficiency non‑oxidizing biocide, benzalkonium chloride effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, algae and slime in water systems. It delivers reliable slime removal, dispersion and penetration effects, alongside supplementary functions including degreasing, deodorization and corrosion inhibition.
At present, benzalkonium chloride is extensively used for disinfection and treatment of circulating cooling water systems in factories, power plants and paper mills, as well as oilfield injection systems and medical‑equipment sanitization. It also finds applications in cleaning and disinfection for swimming pools, laundries, public facilities and food‑processing equipment.
Within the textile printing and dyeing industry, benzalkonium chloride acts as a leveling agent, antibacterial & mildew‑proof agent, softener, antistatic agent, emulsifier and conditioner, providing multi‑functional performance for diverse end‑uses.
