Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC / BAK / BKC) is effective at all pH levels. Its effectiveness increases with the pH; the higher the pH, the lower the concentration needed to secure an antimicrobial effect. BKC is bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal and is able to kill micro-organisms at any growth phase.

Through tests against a number of chosen strains, our Benzalkonium Chloride has proven to be successful against a broad range of harmful bacteria and yeast.

Benzalkonium Chloride is likewise effective in deactivating enveloped viruses, such as corona, influenza, herpes, and hepatitis, at low concentrations below 1%. Various publications back the usage of Benzalkonium Chloride as an effective anti-viral, for example, against type A influenza, SARS-CoV, M31yxo- and related viruses, measles, herpes simplex, adenovirus type 5, canine distemper, feline pneumonitis, meningopneumonitis agents, HIV-1 and more.
