Barquat® CB-80

Barquat® CB-50 and Barquat® CB-80 Antimicrobials both contain the active substance C12-18 Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (ADBAC). The active is a cationic molecule offering good surfactant properties and can be formulated together with non-ionic- and/or amphoteric surfac- tants. ADBAC has a broad antimicrobial efficacy against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and enveloped viruses. High antimi- crobial efficacy is maintained across a broad pH-range. In formulated products, ADBAC is stable around a wide range of pH levels and is used in a number of applications such as food processing, institutional, vet- erinary, healthcare areas, and medical devices. Single-active C12-18 ADBAC products are available in different active concentrations and solvent combinations.
