Liquipak BAC 50 - Benzalkonium Chloride Concentrated 5L

Product Information

Activity is not greatly affected by pH, but increases substantially at higher temperatures and prolonged exposure times.

BAC 50 is a Quaternary ammonium-based biocide, also known as alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride and ADBAC, of various, even-numbered alkyl chain lengths (benzyl C12-C16-alkyl dimethyl, chloride).

Too high for driving, for example, is a number regulated by your state. This is usually 0.05% to 0.08% BAC. But that doesn’t mean it’s safe to drive if you’re below those numbers.Domestic applications include fabric softeners, personal hygiene and cosmetic products, such as shampoos, conditioners, and body lotions, as well as ophthalmic solutions and medications that use the nasal route of delivery. BAC 50 isalso among the most common active ingredients in disinfectants used in residential, industrial, agricultural, and clinical settings. Gossel, T A (1994).

From here, dimethylbenzylamine can be oxidized to benzoic acid using the Fenton process. The trimethyl amine group in dimethylbenzylamine can be cleaved to form a benzyl that can be further oxidized to benzoic acid. Benzoic acid uses hydroxylation (adding a hydroxyl group) to form p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Dimethylbenzylamine can then be converted into ammonia by performing demethylation twice, which removes both methyl groups, followed by debenzylation, removing the benzyl group using hydrogenation. [52] The diagram [ which?] represents suggested pathways of the biodegradation of BAC for both the hydrophobic and the hydrophilic regions of the surfactant. Since stearalkonium chloride is a type of BAC, the biodegradation process should happen in the same manner. Benzalkonium chloride formulations for consumer use are dilute solutions. Concentrated solutions are toxic to humans, causing corrosion/irritation to the skin and mucosa, and death if taken internally in sufficient volumes. 0.1% is the maximum concentration of benzalkonium chloride that does not produce primary irritation on intact skin or act as a sensitizer.

[35] In 2011, a large clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of hand sanitizers based on different active ingredients in preventing virus transmission amongst schoolchildren was re-designed to exclude sanitizers based on benzalkonium chloride due to safety concerns. [36] The use concentration of BAC 50 will depend on the particular application and the required degree of antimicrobial activity.
