Application

Benzalkonium chloride is typically used as preservative in liquid formulations, e.g. for topic, ophthalmic, nasal and parenteral applications. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria, yeast and fungi.
Due to a defined C12:C14 ratio with high batch-to-batch consistency, Benzalkonium chloride Emprove^® Expert provides higher solubility and antimicrobial activity. It can be used in combination with thimerosal, disodium edetate and benzyl alcohol to further increase antimicrobial activity.
This product is also available in pure form (Art.No. 137123).
