Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) is the leading preservative in ophthalmology due to its potent antimicrobial properties. This versatile quaternary ammonium compound efficiently acts against bacteria, viruses, and fungi by denaturing proteins and disrupting cell membranes. Recognized for its rapid efficacy, BKC can perform effectively at low parts per million (ppm), making it a preferred choice in various industries. Its strong detergency allows for the effective removal of organic matter where microbes can thrive. This compound is compatible with a range of surface-active agents, enhancing its effectiveness when used in combination with other biocides and excipients. Notably, BKC disinfectants are non-tainting, non-toxic, and virtually odorless, ensuring a safe application in environments ranging from hospitals to livestock care and personal hygiene practices. Additionally, its applications extend to sugar production and water treatment processes, solidifying BKC's reputation as a reliable and efficient bactericide, algaecide, and fungicide.
