| | BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | White to light yellow liquid | | Uses | Cationic surface active agentBenzalkonium chloride is used in textile dyeing, softeners, antistatic agents, emulsifiers and conditioner. It acts as a cationic detergent. It is also used as a preservative in pharmaceutical products like eye, ear and nasal drops and sprays. Further, it is an active ingredient in personal care products such as hand sanitizers, shampoos, deodorants and wet wipes. In addition to this, it is used in a study to assess its action on epithelia conjunctival cells in vitro. | | Uses | Benzalkonium chloride has been used in a study to assess its action on epithelia conjunctival cells in vitro. It has also been used in a study to investigate its effects on living rabbit cornea by in vivo Tandem scanning confocal microscopy. | | Uses | Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) can be used as:???????
- A cationic surfactant in chemical polymerization reactions.???????
- A phase-transfer catalyst for the quantitative determination of sulfide in the whole blood sample by extractive alkylation technique using GC-MS.??
| | General Description | Colorless or yellowish powder or gummy amber solid. Aromatic odor. Very bitter taste. | | Air & Water Reactions | Water soluble. | | Reactivity Profile | BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE is incompatible with anionic detergents and nitrates. | | Fire Hazard | Flash point data for BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE are not available, but BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE is probably combustible. |
