Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC) acts as an algaecide, bactericide, and fungicide.
The effectiveness of BAC relies on its ability to break the cell and intracellular membrane due to its cationic surfactant properties.
Functions like cell adhesion, cell signaling, ion selective permeability, and cell nutrition are affected first.
Its dual biocidal and detergent properties ensure high efficacy at low concentrations of bacteria, algae, fungi and capsid viruses.
- The BAC 50 has passed rigorous tests to measure its BS EN 1276 micro-biocidal capacity, achieving more than 5-log kills at a 1: 1200 dilution in the presence of highly mineralized water and organic contamination conditions.
- The BAC 80 has passed rigorous tests to measure its BS EN 1276 micro-biocidal capacity, achieving more than 5-log kills at a 1: 2000 dilution in the presence of highly mineralized water and organic contamination conditions.
