What is Benzalkonium Chloride (BZK)?
Benzalkonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) known for its ability to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi by breaking down their outer membranes. It’s frequently used in medical and personal care products due to its non-corrosive properties and mildness on skin compared to alcohol-based disinfectants.
Why is BZK an Effective Active Ingredient?
1. Prolonged Protection – Unlike alcohol-based solutions that evaporate quickly, BZK leaves a protective layer that continues working against germs after application.
2. Non-Damaging to Surfaces – Safe for electronics, countertops, gym equipment, and even skin, making it ideal for daily disinfection without causing damage.
3. Gentle on Hands – Unlike alcohol-based wipes that can dry out skin, BZK is less irritating and suitable for frequent use.
4. Proven Efficacy – Studies show that BZK effectively eliminates a wide range of bacteria and viruses, making it a reliable choice for disinfecting wipes.
