Barquat® MS-100 Special Antimicrobials contain
the active substance C12-14 Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (ADBAC). The active substance is a cationic molecule offering good surfactant properties and can be formulated together with nonionic- and/or amphoteric surfactants. ADBAC has a broad antimicrobial efficacy against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and enveloped viruses. High antimicrobial efficacy is maintained across a broad pH-range and ADBAC is stable in formulations with a wide range of pH levels. ADBAC’s are used in a number of applications such as food processing, institutional, veterinary, healthcare areas, and medical device disinfectants. Barquat® MS-100 is a powder ADBAC and of high interest for solid products like granules, tablets or powder formulations.
