Biocides are compounds that completely removes or prevents biological fouling. Biocidal substances and products can be classified as anti-fouling agents or disinfectants depending upon circumstances. For Example: Chlorine is used as a short-life biocide in industrial water treatment but as a disinfectant in swimming pools. The various types of biocides function in different applications or behavior. Though a simple chlorine compound or a peroxide compound are common example of biocides, but the ones that are synergistically formulated for a given purpose eventually delivers high level of performance.
High performance biocides provide superior performance and include both oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides for complete water system control.
Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride (ADBAC) serves as a quarternary ammonium compound based broad spectrum terminal disinfectant. ADBAC is used for the purpose of surface disinfection such as walls, floor, tables, equipments etc. Furthermore it is used for water disinfection in various applications
Benzalkonium Chloride or BKC is primarily used as a preservative and antimicrobial agent, and secondarily used as a surfactant. It works by killing microorganisms and inhibiting their future growth, and for this reason frequently
Didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) is an antiseptic/disinfectant that is used in many biocidal applications. They cause disruption of intermolecular interactions and dissociation of lipid bilayers. They are
Isothiazolinone (CAS No. 1003-07-2) is an antimicrobial preservative primarily for water containing solutions, as these are breeding grounds for bacteria, fungi, and algae. It has a high performance, broad spectrum, antimicrobial activity controlling both planktonic and surface growth of bacteria, fungi and algae. It has been designed exclusively for water treatment and paper mill application.
