Benzalkonium chloride BKC Powder Benzalkonium chloride BKC Solution

Benzalkonium chloride, also known as BZK, BKC, BAC, alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride and ADBAC, is a type of cationic surfactant. It is an organic salt classified as a quaternary ammonium compound. It has three main categories of use: as a biocide, a cationic surfactant, and as a phase transfer agent.
Depending on purity, benzalkonium chloride ranges from colorless to a pale yellow (impure). Benzalkonium chloride is readily soluble in ethanol and acetone. Dissolution in water is slow. Aqueous solutions should be neutral to slightly alkaline. Solutions foam when shaken. Concentrated solutions have a bitter taste and a faint almond-like odor. Standard concentrates are manufactured as 50% and 80% w/w solutions, and sold under trade names. We offer both Benzalkonium chloride solution and Benzalkonium chloride powder.

Benzalkonium Chloride USP Grade:
Ammonium, alkyldimethyl(phenylmethyl)-, chloride.
Alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride [CAS 8001-54-5].

Benzalkonium Chloride is a mixture of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides of the general formula: [C6H5CH2N(CH3)2R]Cl in which R represents a mixture of alkyls, including all or some of the group beginning with n-C8H17 and extending through higher homologs, with n-C12H25, n-C14H29, and n-C16H33 comprising the major portion. On the anhydrous basis, the content of the n-C12H25 homolog is not less than 40.0 percent, and the content of the n-C14H29 homolog is not less than 20.0 percent, of the total alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride content. The amounts of the n-C12H25 and n-C14H29 homolog components comprise together not less than 70.0 percent of the total alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride content. The total alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride content, calculated on the anhydrous basis, allowance being made for the amount of residue on ignition, is not less than 97.0 percent and not more than 103.0 percent of [C6H5CH2N(CH3)2R]Cl.

Packaging and storage: Preserve in tight containers.
Identification:
A: To a solution (1 in 100) add 2 N nitric acid or mercuric chloride TS: a white precipitate is formed, and it is soluble in alcohol.
B: Dissolve about 200 mg in 1 mL of sulfuric acid, add 100 mg of sodium nitrate, and heat on a steam bath for 5 minutes. Cool, dilute with water to 10 mL, add 500 mg of zinc dust, and warm for 5 minutes on a steam bath. To 2 mL of the clear supernatant add 1 mL of sodium nitrite solution (1 in 20), cool in ice water, then add 3 mL of a solution of 500 mg of 2-naphthol in 10 mL of 6 N ammonium hydroxide: an orange-red color is produced.
C: A solution of it in a mixture of equal volumes of water and alcohol responds to the tests for Chloride.
Water: not more than 15.0%.
Residue on ignition: not more than 2.0%.
Water-insoluble matter: A solution (1 in 10) is free from turbidity and insoluble matter.
Limit of foreign amines: To 5 mL of a solution (1 in 50) add 3 mL of 1 N sodium hydroxide: no precipitate is formed. Heat to boiling: the odor of amines is not perceptible.
Ratio of alkyl components: To pass the test.
Assay for total alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides: Weigh accurately a quantity of Benzalkonium Chloride equivalent to about 500 mg of anhydrous benzalkonium chloride, and transfer, with the aid of 35 mL of water, to a glass-stoppered, 250-mL conical separator containing 25 mL of chloroform. Add 10.0 mL of freshly prepared potassium iodide solution (1 in 20), insert the stopper in the separator, shake, allow the layers to separate, and discard the chloroform layer. Wash the aqueous layer with three 10-mL portions of chloroform, and discard the washings. Transfer the aqueous layer to a glass-stoppered, 250-mL conical flask, and rinse the separator with three 5-mL portions of water, adding the washings to the flask. Add 40 mL of cold hydrochloric acid to the flask, mix, and titrate with 0.05 M potassium iodate VS until the solution becomes light brown in color. Add 5 mL of chloroform, insert the stopper into the flask, and shake vigorously. Continue the titration, dropwise, with shaking after each addition, until the chloroform layer becomes colorless and the aqueous layer is clear yellow. Perform a blank determination, using 20 mL of water as the sample. The difference between the two titrations represents the amount of potassium iodate equivalent to the weight of benzalkonium chloride in the sample. Each mL of 0.05 M potassium iodate is equivalent to x/10 mg of benzalkonium chloride,where x represents the average molecular weight of the sample, derived by summing, for all homologs, the products

W(A/B)

where W is the molecular weight of a given homolog, A is the area of the peak produced by that homolog in the chromatogram from the Ratio of alkyl components test, and B is the total peak area for all homologs in that chromatogram.
