Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC / ADBAC)
Innova Corporate (India) Chemicals Division offers a comprehensive range of Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC), also known as Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride (ADBAC). This nitrogenous cationic surface-acting agent belongs to the quaternary ammonium group and consists of a blend of alkyl-benzyl-dimethyl-ammonium chlorides with various even-numbered alkyl chain lengths.
BKC is a powerful antiseptic and disinfectant agent, highly effective in killing bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. Its efficacy increases with temperature, and it maintains strong bacteriological activity even in the presence of water. It is specifically engineered to target sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), which are a major cause of corrosion in secondary oil recovery operations.
Industrial Applications:- 1. Oil & Gas: Acts as a pipeline corrosion inhibitor and de-emulsifier. It prevents the formation of sulphurous gases and functions as a sludge breaker for enhanced oil extraction.
- 2. Sanitization & Hygiene: Combines microbicidal and detergency properties, making it ideal for formulating sanitizers for Hospitals, Livestock, and the Dairy industry.
- 3. Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics: Used as a safe preservative in ophthalmic (ocular) products and topical formulations to optimize emolliency and stability.
- 4. Food & Beverage: Being non-toxic and non-tainting, it is widely used in slaughterhouses, breweries, bottling plants, and milk storage facilities.
