Safety and efficacy
Since Quats act on the surface and not on the content of the cells, they do not trigger antibiotic resistance. Quats should not be classified as skin sensitizers but as skin irritants. Bromides are less irritating to the skin than chlorides. Quats are relatively non-toxic in use concentrations and only considered harmful in concentrated forms.
Tertiary amines are used in the manufacture of Quats; free amine is a possible impurity and can be responsible for skin irritation. FeF Quats are carefully manufactured with synthetic raw materials from qualified suppliers, and our validated processes are fully controlled to obtain the lowest possible levels of impurities.
