Among all disinfectant and preservative ingredients, Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC) stands out for its excellent broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, safety, and versatility. With increasing demand for compliant and efficient antimicrobial formulations, Benzalkonium Chloride disinfectant is widely used across industries — from personal care and household cleaning to medical disinfection, water treatment, and agriculture.
However, buyers often face critical questions:
Should I choose liquid or powder BAC? Industrial grade or pharmaceutical grade?
This guide offers comprehensive answers and buying insights to help you select the right BKC disinfectant or BKC preservative solution for your application.
Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC) — also known as BKC — is a quaternary ammonium compound used as a cationic surfactant, disinfectant, and preservative. Its strong performance in low concentrations, compatibility with other ingredients, and safety profile make it a go-to ingredient in:
Medical and hospital-grade disinfectants (e.g., benzalkonium chloride disinfectant wipes)
Hand sanitizers and cleansing gels
Household cleaners and surface sprays
Water treatment chemicals
Agricultural fungicides and bactericides
Personal care and cosmetic preservatives
It is frequently used in both Benzalkonium Chloride solution and powder form, depending on formulation needs and regulatory requirements.
Available as a transparent to yellowish liquid
Common concentrations: BAC 50%, BAC 80%
Easy to use in liquid-based formulations, such as sprays, gels, and disinfectant liquids
Suitable for industrial production lines
Cost-effective and widely available
Recommended for: benzalkonium chloride disinfectant sprays, BKC 50 liquid for surface cleaning, BAC 80 for agricultural disinfectants
Typically ≥95% purity
Ideal for solid formulations such as disinfectant tablets or moisture-sensitive formulations
Offers better storage stability
Easier international shipping (can often be classified as non-hazardous)
Recommended for: BKC disinfectant tablets, pharmaceutical-grade BAC formulations, high-end personal care products
✅ Summary:
Choose BAC solution if you need ease of use and large-scale processing. Choose BAC powder for dry, stable, or export-sensitive applications requiring high purity.
Used in non-medical disinfectants, water treatment, coatings, agriculture, and livestock hygiene
Cost-effective, with less stringent impurity controls
Recommended products: BAC 50 industrial grade, BKC 80 for surface disinfectants
Compliant with USP / EP / BP / ChP standards
Controlled impurities such as benzene, free amines, and heavy metals
Used in eye drops, oral rinses, wound cleansers, and hospital-grade disinfectants
Recommended products: pharmaceutical-grade BKC powder, benzalkonium chloride solution for medical use
✅ Buying Tip:
If your product involves direct contact with skin, mucosa, or medical devices, use pharmaceutical grade BAC. For industrial or environmental uses, industrial grade BAC offers excellent performance at a lower cost.
