Quaternary Ammonium Compound
Barquat MB-50 and Barquat MB-80 are blends of alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chlorides.
When used as an active ingredient in FIFRA1 registered formulations such as hard surface disinfectants, sanitizers and/or certain types of water treatment formulations, these products have been found to provide superior biocidal action against a broad spectrum of microbial organisms such as: bacteria, fungi, viruses, and algae.
This “first” generation quaternary ammonium compound delivers potent germicidal action in most applications.

The components of Barquat MB-50 and Barquat MB-80 are listed in the United States Environmental Protection Agency TSCA Chemical Inventory list.
Barquat CB-50 and Barquat CB-80 Antimicrobials both contain the active substance C12-18 Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (ADBAC).
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.
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, veterinary, healthcare areas, and medical devices.
Single-active C12-18 ADBAC products are available in different active concentrations and solvent combinations.
Barquat BAC-80 Antimicrobial contains the active substance C12-C16 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 surfactants.
ADBAC has a broad antimicrobial efficacy against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and enveloped viruses.
ADBAC maintains its efficacy across a broad pH-range.
Single-active C12-C16 ADBAC products are available at different active concentrations, C-chain distributions and solvent combinations.
