Quaternary ammonium compounds like Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) and Didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) serve as an exceptional antimicrobial agent and hence are widely used in the formulations of disinfectants for effective actions. These quaternary ammonium compounds have excellent activity against bacteria, fungi, viruses and endospores. Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) being a polymer serves as a disinfectant and antiseptic. This exceptional feature of BACs, DDACs & PHMB makes them a vital kind of disinfectant combination which can be effectively used in various industries. This article primarily aims at the uses of industrially available disinfectants containing QACs in various fields.
