Disinfectants and biocides are chemicals used to kill or control harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and algae in water treatment. Common disinfectants include chlorine, ozone, and UV light, which destroy pathogens in drinking water and wastewater. Biocides (like bromine, chlorine dioxide, and hydrogen peroxide) are used in industrial systems (cooling towers, pipelines) to prevent microbial growth, biofilm formation, and fouling. These chemicals ensure safe, clean water by eliminating health risks and maintaining system efficiency.

Benzyl Konium Chloride

Benzyl Konium Chloride (BAC) 50% is a quaternary ammonium compound with potent antimicrobial and disinfectant properties. It is a cationic surfactant widely used for its bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal effects. This clear to pale yellow liquid concentrate is highly soluble in water and is commonly used in healthcare, sanitation, and industrial hygiene applications. BAC 50% solutions serve as active ingredients in disinfectants, sanitizers, and antiseptics due to their effectiveness against a broad spectrum of microorganisms.
