Is used as a biocide, a cationic surfactant, and a phase transfer agent.
Benzalkonium Chloride is a rapid acting Algaecide, Bactericide and Fungicide. The biocidal efficacy of benzalkonium chloride depends on its capacity as a cationic surfactant to disrupt cellular and intracellular membranes. Functions such as cell adhesion, cell signaling, selective permeability to ions and nutritional organic molecules are primarily affected. Its dual biocidal and detergency properties ensure high efficacy against bacteria, algae, fungi and enveloped viruses at exceptionally low concentrations.
