Benzalkonium Chloride 50% (BKC / ADBAC) is a premium cationic quaternary ammonium surfactant and biocide. It is globally recognized as an essential preservative and antiseptic in ophthalmic, nasal, and topical drug formulations. Manufactured under strict quality controlled manufacturing practices, our BKC solution maintains a precise alkyl chain distribution to optimize antimicrobial efficacy while maintaining high cellular compatibility. Kalpasthana, a leading industrial chemical manufacturer, ensures compliance with global B2B regulatory standards.
Manufacturing Importance: Sourced directly from our state-of-the-art facility in Bidar District, Karnataka. Every batch is manufactured under strict quality controlled guidelines, ensuring predictable synthesis yields and batch-to-batch consistency.

Benzalkonium Chloride 50% (BKC) is a premium cationic nitrogenous surfactant displaying powerful broad-spectrum biocidal activity at low concentrations. By adsorption onto cell walls and disrupting membrane integrity, BKC targets bacteria, fungi, algae, and enveloped viruses. It is widely used as a primary antiseptic agent, disinfectant raw material, and pharmaceutical preservative in critical health applications.
In topical and ophthalmic drug formulations, Benzalkonium Chloride acts as a critical antimicrobial preservative. It is preferred because of its low-toxicity profile at working concentrations, and sourcing it in a GMP-compliant form ensures the complete absence of heavy metals and alkyl-chain impurities that could compromise cellular compatibility.
Destroys microbes via electrostatic interaction with cell membranes, leading to rapid leakage and lysis.
The standard antimicrobial preservative for sterile formulations including eye drops, nasal sprays, and antiseptic washes.
Applied to prevent bio-slimes and algae growth in industrial cooling towers, paper production mills, and swimming pools.
Highly stable in aqueous solution, compatible with cationic, non-ionic, and amphoteric surfactants.
For Benzalkonium Chloride 50% (BKC), quality is our foundational pillar. We ensure high-performance surfactant footprints through strict process controls, precise alkyl distribution monitoring, and pH-regulated blending. Our facility tests amine values to minimize free amine impurities, guaranteeing batch-to-batch consistency for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and disinfectant formulations.
Every shipment is backed by quaternary ammonium active content titration (maintaining ADBAC active content >=50.0%), pH assays, and standard COA profiles to streamline client compliance audits.
Manufactured under strict GMP-compliant standard operating procedures.
In-house analytical testing ensuring HPLC purity >=99.0% for every batch.
Complete B2B regulatory paperwork, technical dossiers, and audit support.

Benzalkonium Chloride (ADBAC) is synthesized by the reaction of alkyldimethylamine (with alkyl groups ranging from C8 to C18, predominantly C12 and C14) with benzyl chloride under controlled temperature and pressure. The reaction yields a quaternary ammonium salt, which is then dissolved in high-purity water to obtain a stable 50% aqueous solution. The cationic nature of the nitrogen head group gives the compound its active surfactant and cell membrane disrupting capabilities.
In pharmaceutical formulations, BKC 50% is primarily used as an antimicrobial preservative in ophthalmic drops, nasal sprays, and topical creams to prevent microbial growth. In industrial water treatment, it is applied as a highly effective algaecide and biocide in cooling towers, heat exchangers, and swimming pools. It is also an essential disinfectant active ingredient in sanitation products, agricultural disinfection, and food processing hygiene.
Manufactured in our GMP-compliant facility, our BKC 50% aqueous solution is strictly tested for free amines (less than 1%) to prevent skin irritation.
It is stored in robust 50 kg or 200 kg HDPE drums in a well-ventilated, cool environment away from strong oxidizing agents.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) including chemical-resistant gloves and goggles is mandatory during bulk handling due to its concentrated surfactant nature.
HPLC purity verified at >=99.0% with minimal related substances.
Continuous commercial-scale volume manufacturing capacity.
Complete analytical profiles, GC profiles, MSDS, and COA dossiers.
Equipped with a 50 kL combined reactor volume in Karnataka.
Kalpasthana Life Care Products, Plot no 105, Part A, KIADB Industrial Area, Humnabad, Bidar District, Karnataka, India - 585330
GMP-compliant facility, rigorously tested for free amines and consistent 50% assay.
Available in 50 kg and 200 kg high-density polyethylene (HDPE) drums.
Commercial Sourcing & Synonyms: Sourcing BKC 50 CAS 8001-54-5 from an established Benzalkonium Chloride 50% manufacturer guarantees GMP compliance. As a premium ADBAC supplier, Kalpasthana supplies this quaternary ammonium biocide, cationic surfactant disinfectant, and cosmetic preservative to global healthcare industries.
Benzalkonium Chloride 50% (BKC) is a premier cationic surfactant. In the pharmaceutical and personal care sectors, it acts as an active antimicrobial agent in sanitizers, antiseptic wipes, and surgical disinfectants. It is also the most common preservative used in ophthalmic (eye drop) formulations. Industrially, it is used for algae control in cooling water systems.
Our Benzalkonium Chloride is supplied as a clear, highly stable 50% aqueous solution. We utilize advanced manufacturing techniques to strictly limit the presence of unreacted free amines to less than 1.0%. Every batch undergoes rigorous quality control for exact assay, pH balance, and color clarity to ensure it meets pharmaceutical preservative standards.
While highly effective at low concentrations, bulk BKC 50% is a concentrated surfactant that requires proper protective equipment during handling to avoid skin and eye irritation. It should be stored in tightly sealed HDPE drums in a well-ventilated, ambient environment away from strong oxidizing agents. We provide full MSDS documentation with every shipment.
