Description of bronopol antimicrobial preservative Industrial grade bronopol is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative and biocide supplied as a high-purity white crystal (≥ 99 %), used for microbiological control in aqueous formulations and industrial systems. Its chemical name is 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol and it belongs to the nitroalcohol family, compounds recognized for their high efficacy against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as molds and yeasts. Thanks to its high water solubility (up to 28 % at 25 °C) and compatibility with glycols and surfactants, bronopol can be easily incorporated into liquid formulations, acting as a preservative in personal care products, detergents, paper slurries, cooling systems and industrial solutions where microbial contamination affects product stability, performance and shelf life. Its stability in the slightly acidic to neutral pH range (4.0 – 7.0) makes it an excellent choice for formulations that require microbiolo…

Benzalkonium chloride: Product description At Quimiconsult we offer Benzalkonium Chloride 80 %, an industrial disinfectant and biocidal agent belonging to the quaternary ammonium salt family, widely used in professional sanitization and microbiological control processes. It comes as a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a minimum active content of 80 %, designed for concentrated formulations that require high efficacy, chemical stability and easy dosing. Benzalkonium chloride is a non-volatile biocide, effective against a broad range of bacteria, fungi, algae and enveloped viruses. It acts mainly by interacting with the cell membranes of microorganisms, which inactivates them. For this reason, it is used as an active ingredient in industrial, institutional and livestock disinfectants, as well as in sanitizing solutions for surfaces, equipment and process areas. For those asking what benzalkonium chloride is used for, or looking for a reliable benzalkonium chloride disinfectant, o…

Product Description: Benzalkonium Chloride 50%, Broad-Spectrum Quaternary Disinfectant At Quimiconsult we offer Benzalkonium Chloride 50%, a high-concentration quaternary ammonium compound widely recognized worldwide as one of the most versatile, effective and safe disinfectants and antiseptics on the market. It comes as a clear, colorless to slightly yellowish liquid, water-soluble, highly foaming and with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (6.5 – 8.0 in 1% aqueous solution), with a minimum active ingredient content of 50% and a maximum free amine content of 2.0%, parameters that guarantee both the microbicidal potency and the chemical purity of the product. Its CAS number is 63449-41-2, and it is identified internationally under names such as benzalkonium chloride, BAK, BKC, alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, ADBAC or simply quaternary ammonium. Chemically, benzalkonium chloride is a mixture of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides with alkyl chains of varying length (typically C1…

Preventol® BIT 20 N Description: BIT Biocide for the Preservation of Water-Based Formulations At Quimiconsult we offer Preventol® BIT 20 N, a broad-spectrum biocide formulated as a stable solution of 20% 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (BIT) in dipropylene glycol. It is designed for the in-can preservation of water-based industrial preparations, protecting them against decomposition caused by bacteria, fungi and yeasts during storage and throughout their shelf life. Preventol® BIT 20 N is a yellow to slightly amber liquid, easy to incorporate and dose, used in water-based paints, polymer emulsions and dispersions, adhesives, printing inks, pigment and mineral slurries, cutting fluids, agrochemical additives and leather processing. Its active ingredient is thermally stable with low volatility and it does not release formaldehyde, making it a modern alternative to formaldehyde-donor preservatives. Key advantages include its wide application pH range (4.0 – 12.0), tolerance of process tempera…

NF 4 M description — Nonylphenol Ethoxylate with 4 Moles of Ethylene Oxide (Industrial Grade Nonionic Surfactant)   At Quimiconsult we offer NF 4 M, also known as 4-mole Nonylphenol Ethoxylate, nonylphenol with 4 ethylene oxide units, NP-4, NPE-4, nonyl phenol 4 EO or NP 4 Moles, an industrial grade nonionic surfactant made from a nonylphenol molecule with 4 ethylene oxide units. It acts as a dispersant, degreaser, detergent, emulsifier and solubilizer, and because of its low degree of ethoxylation it sits at the lipophilic end of the nonylphenol ethoxylate family, which makes it especially valuable as an emulsifier for oily systems, a synthesis intermediate, a dispersing agent in low-polarity phases and a component for adjusting the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of formulations.   It is a clear to translucent liquid, 100% active (no diluents), with CAS number 9016-45-9, concentrate pH of 6.0 to 8.0, viscosity of 240 to 260 cPs, density of 1.00 to 1.03 g/mL at 25 °C and a maxim…

BIT 5% Description — BIT Biocide for Water-Based Formulations   BIT 5% is a broad-spectrum biocide for the preservation of water-based industrial preparations against decomposition caused by bacteria, fungi and yeasts. It is a stable solution of 5% 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (BIT) in dipropylene glycol, a slightly yellow liquid, soluble in water at recommended concentrations, that does not release formaldehyde.   Its active ingredient is very stable, with good thermal stability and low volatility: BIT 5% can be used over a wide pH range (4.0 – 12.0) and up to a maximum temperature of 90 °C, which allows it to be added in the initial phases of the process to reduce the bacterial load from the moment raw materials are added. Its liquid formulation allows easy addition and correct dosing.   BIT 5% is recommended for preserving polymer emulsions, water-based paints, adhesives and waterproofing coatings, printing inks, pigment slurries for paper and mineral slurries, cutting fluids and coo…
