Antimicrobial 1227 Benzalkonium Chloride Raw Material Liquid Cas No 85409 22 9

Benzalkonium Chloride 1227 – High-Performance Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial & Disinfectant

Benzalkonium Chloride (CAS No. 63449-41-2, INCI: Benzalkonium Chloride), commonly known as "1227," is a highly effective cationic surfactant and non-oxidizing biocide widely used in sterilization, disinfection, and preservation applications. It works by disrupting bacterial cell membrane permeability, leading to cell lysis and metabolic inhibition, with particularly strong efficacy against Gram-positive bacteria. Beyond its antimicrobial action, it also exhibits algicidal, anti-biofilm, and deodorizing properties, making it a versatile ingredient for personal care, household, medical, and industrial applications.
