Description and Uses

Benzalkonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium mixture of alkyl, dimethyl and benzyl ammonium chlorides.It is an irritant rather than a sensitizer, but may cause contact dermatitis in nursing and medical personnel. An unusual case was reported in a farm worker who used a detergent containing benzalkonium chloride to clean the piggery.

benzalkonium chloride is a preservative with anti-microbial and deodorant properties. It can also be used as a surfactant. With continuous use, it may cause occasional allergic reactions.
